Hear now the sacred story, drawn faithfully from the verses you have given. The Lord is praised as the giver of nectar, the ocean of milk, and the very milk itself. He is the destroyer of Kaṃsa, the slayer of the mighty elephant, and the vanquisher of elephants. He is Mudra—the maker of mudras—and, at the same time, beyond all mudras. He is the ear, the master of the ear, the one to be heard, and hearing itself. He is the seer of forms, abiding within the eye, and the controller of vision. He dwells within the nose, creates the sense of smell, perceives every scent, and governs the olfactory powers. He abides in the vital breath, is the maker of the arts, the creator of craftsmanship, and the master of the hands. He controls the feet, receives all that is offered to the feet, and produces excretion. He is the master of the generative organ and the giver of its delight. He is the benefactor of Alarka and the destroyer of Kārtavīrya. He is the giver of food, the embodiment of food, the eater of food, and the initiator of food. He is the joy of Devakī, the delight of Nanda, and the beloved of Rohiṇī. He is Dundubhi, laughter itself, and the blossoming of flowers. He is Acyuta, the Lord of Truth, and the beloved consort of Satyā. He is cherished by the cowherd women and renowned for his virtuous fame. He is Rāhu, Ketu, the graha, the seizer, and bears the face of the lord of elephants. He is a Kinnara, a Siddha, the meter, and the one who acts according to his own will. He is of infinite forms, abiding among beings, present among gods and demons. He dwells in the world, is ever wakeful, and is both the place and state of wakefulness. Yet he is free from waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, known as the fourth state beyond these. He is the lord of all worlds and the regulator of the universe. He is the form of supreme bliss and the promoter of righteousness. He is withdrawal, the supporter, and the cause of withdrawal. He is without grasping, fair, all-pervading, pure, and highly praised. He is the cook, the bringer of joy, the enjoyer, the knower, and the one who contemplates. He is the river, the joyful one, the lord of joy, and the destroyer of the Bharata trees. He is the lord of all gods and dwells in Dvārakā. He is Bharata, Janaka, the cause of birth, and yet devoid of all forms. Thus, O bearer of the bull-banner, a thousand names have been recited to you. By reciting these names, a Brahmin attains the state of Viṣṇu, and a Kṣatriya wins victory. Then, the request was made: “Describe again the meditation, O bearer of conch, discus, and mace.” Hari replied, “The form to be visualized is infinite, all-pervading, unborn, and imperishable. It is the eternal, supreme Brahman, existing alone, dwelling in the hearts of all beings as the great Lord of all creatures. It is untouched, liberated, and contemplated by those united with liberation. It is devoid of speech and senses, free from the functions of breath, without anus and genitals, and lacking all senses. It is without mind, free from all mental attributes. It is without ego and devoid of the qualities of intellect. It is without the vital air called vyāna, free from the functions of breath. Now, I will again describe the worship of the Sun, as formerly spoken to Bhrigu. Om, obeisance to Khakholka.” Thus ends the sacred narration, revealing the Lord’s thousand names and the meditation upon his infinite, imperishable form.
