- स्तोष्ये भक्त्या विष्णुमनादिं जगदादिं यस्मिन्नेतत्संसृतिचक्रं भ्रमतीत्थम् ।
- With devotion I shall praise Vishnu, the beginningless one, the world's origin, in whom this wheel of samsara revolves thus.
- यस्मिन् दृष्टे नश्यति तत्संसृतिचक्रं तं संसारध्वान्तविनाशं हरिमीडे ॥१॥
- By seeing whom that wheel of samsara is destroyed - Him, destroyer of samsara's darkness, Hari, I praise.
The wheel of becoming turns only in the Lord who is also its ground; to see Him is to see that the cycle never truly bound the Self. Praise of Hari turns the mind from the revolving world toward the still awareness in which birth and death appear and vanish.
