The prayer  has two parts
Part1 Devas praying  Lord Vishnu for his appearance (skandam 6 chapter  9   sloka   21-27)
Part 2   Devas praying Lord Vishnu   who comes before them   to help  defeat Vruthrasura  (skanda 6  chapter10, slokas 31-45)

1.Vaivambaraagnyapkshithaya  sthilokaa,
Brahmodhayo   ye   vayamudhwijantha,
Haraama yasmai bali mantha kosou,
Bhibhethi  yasmaadharanam   thatho na.

The five elements, the worlds  which are  united in them,
Lord Brahma   and we devas, who are  the reason of creation,
Are scared  of Time  which is the  protector   of all, but that time,
Is scared of Divine God and we   surrender  to that God.

2.Avismitham tham pari poorna  kamam,
Swenaiva laabhena samam  prasaantham,
Vinopa sarpathya param hi baalesa,
Swalangulenaathithithrthi sindhum.

Leaving him  who never wonders, who is completely desirable,
Who is equal to all  and who is very peaceful,
If a person  surrenders to some one else, he is ignorant,
And is like  one who tries  to cross the sea catching dog’s tail.

3.Yasyoru srunge jagathimswanaavaam,
Manur yadhaa abadhya thathaara  durgam,
Sa evanassthwashtra bhayaadh durathaadh,
Thrathaa aasrithaan varicharobhi noonam.

Vaivasatha manu,   escaped  the problem of Pralaya,
By tying   the boatof earth, on the horn  of the lord,
Who took the form of a fish and let that  God,
Save us who are his dependents from fear  of Vruthra.

4. Puraa  swayambhoorapi samyamaamba-,
Syaadheernavaatho rmiravai karale  ,
Yeko  aravindhaath pathitha stha thaaraa,
Thasmaadh  bhayaadh   yena sa  no asthu paara.

Once in the  sea  water  of the world which was,
Rocking severely, Lord Brahma  sitting on lotus flower,
Which arose   from Belly  of Lord Vishnu fell down,
Let the god who saved him   from that danger  save us also.

5.Ya yeka eeso  nija maayayaa  na,
Sasrjja   yenaanu sujaamaa   viswam,
Vayam  na yasyaapi   pura sameehatha,
Pasyaama  lingam prudhageesamaanina .

6.Yo na sapathnairbrusa mardhyamaanan,
Devarshi  thiryangnyashu nithya   yeva,
Kruthaavathaara sthanubhi  swa maayayaa ,
Kruthwaa aathma saath pathi  yuge yuge cha

7.Thwameva devaa vayam  athma  daivatham,
Param pradhaanam  purusham   viswamanyam,
Vrujaama sarve saranam   saranyam,
Swaanaam  sa no daasyathi sam mahathaa.

That god who created  using his  power of Maya,
That  god due to whose blessings we  are engaged in creation,
That   god who was   the creator before all,
That god  whom we  are not able   to understand

That god, who though  is forever  existing,
Who has taken birth    among   devas ,
Sages ,men  and baser  beings and ,
Has saved  us from the   trouble  of enemies

Who is    the god  of all beings, divinely important,
Purusha   as well  as prakruthi(nature)  all over the universe,
And who is engaged in creation , nurture  and destruction,
We are   surrendering to that god, let good come to us  


When the devas prayed like this  , Lord Vishnu  appeared  before the devas  and they  Saluted him   and again   started  praying him.

1,Namasthe  yajna veeryaya,
Vayase   utha  ne nama,
Namasthe hyastha  chakraaya,
Nama supooruhruthaye

Salutations  to god  who shows himself through Yajna,
Salutations to him who as form of time destroys all,
Salutations to him who uses chakra against evil people,
Salutations to the god who exhibits  his qualities.

2.Yathe  gatheenaam thisrunaam,
Yeesithu  paramam Padham,
Naarvaacheeno visargasya ,
Dathar vedithu mrhathi

Oh God  who is creator, you created the  three  worlds,
And though we   are your creations  surprisingly ,
We  are not able   to understand  your divine state,
And possibly only due  to your mercy we can know it.

Prose
3.Om namosthesthu bhagwan  narayana  , vasudev, adhi purusha, maha purusha, mahanubava,
Parama mangala, parama  kalyana, parama karunika, kevala  jagad aadhara, lokaikanadha, sarveswara,
Lakshmi nadhaa, paramhamsa  parivraajakai, parmenaathma, yoga samadhinaa, paribhavitha, parisphuta, paarama hamsya dharmena udhghatitha thama, kapata  dhwaare chithe, apaavyatha, aathma loke  swayam upalabdha, nija sukhanubhavo bhavan.

Om salutation    to God  Narayana, Vasudeva, primeval purusha, great purusha. Who gives us great  experiences, the divinely auspicious one, divinely good one  , divinely merciful one, The one who alone is  support of universe, , the lord of all worlds, the god of all, the lord of goddess  Lakshmi, Who appears  in the mind   at the opening   of  the greatest ascetic, tHe one who has   given up everything, the one who by divine  athma  yoga and samadhi penetrated  the  very clear  dharmic   state a great  sage, the one who is  greatly open minded, and who  of his own accord  is available those  open minded  seekers  of Athma and grants them  the state  of divine ecstasy.

4Dhoorava bodhe  iva   thavaayaam vihaarayogo,
Yadha sarano asareera idham  anavekshithaasmath,
Samavaaya athmanaiva avikriya  maanena,
Sagunamaguna srujasi  paasi  harasi .

WE feel that  at no time we would understand  your sports of the  world,
Because   without depending on any one, without a body or help,
You  who has  and has  not properties,  taking care  not to make  any change,
Are  creating , nurturing   as well  as destroying  this  entire universe.

5.Adha thathra bhavan , kim deva datha  vadhiha,
Guna viusarga  pathitha, paara  thanthrena ,
Swakrutha kusalaakusalam  phalam upadhadhathi,
Aahoswith aathmaarama upasama  sheela,
Samancha sadarasana udhaastha ithi  ha  vaava na  vidhama.

You just like soul  are subject to working  of nature and depend  ,
On  outside things,  and whether  you suffer  the effect of your own good and bad actions,
Or you  are not dependent on soul and are   without any actions,
And never   have your own form and   and are acting  only  as  an inactive,
Witness,  we do  not know

6.Na hi  virodha ubhayam  bhagavathya pariganitha ,
Guna gane easware anavagaahya  mahaathmye
Arvacheena vikalpa vitharka  vichara,
Pramanaa bhasa kutharkka sasthra kalilaa anthakaranaa.
Srayadhurava grahavaadheenaam  vivaadhanavasrara,
Uparatha samastha  maayaamaya kevala  yeva,
Athmaayaam anthardhaya konwartho,
Durghata iva bhavathi swaroopa dwayaabhavath.

In you whose greatness  cannot be known and who has endless  greatness,
These  two are not contradictory. Those modern  debaters  who have  a confused mind,
Due to science which is based on   wrong premises, assumptions, evil tricks cannot understand you.
When your Maya  ceases to work, everything would end and you  alone remain but  when your
Power of maya works, there is nothing  which is impossible, In your lonely form as  well as your
Universal form, without  problems to your form  , you  alone work.

7.Sama vishama matheenaam  matha mnu sarasi  yadhaa  rajju ganda sarppadhidhiyaam.

To those who have equal  or un equal knowledge, you are  experienced  in differing ways , just like in a dim light a   rope can appear  as a garland or a snake.

8,Sa eva hi  puna  sarva  vasthuni vasthu swaroopa   sarveswara,
Sakala jagath karana karana bhootha sarva prathyagathmathwath sarva gunaa-
Bhasopalakshitha yeka eva paryavaseshitha.

Only god is  the truth  in everything.You , who is the god of all  is   the divine cause,
In  all things for which you are  the creator,Because you  are spread  within inside,
The world exists   as a  proof of yourself and at the end  what remains  would be god only.

               9.Adha ha vaavaa thava mahimaamya  tharasa  samudhra  vipushaa  sakrutha valleedayaa  swamanasi  nishyandha manaa   anavaratha  sukhena vismaritha drushta srutha   vishaya   sukha  lesaa bhasa parama  bhagawathaa   yekaanthino  bhagwathi   sarva  bootha c priya suhrudhi   sarrvaathmani nitharaam nirantharam   nirvrutha manasa kadha noo ha vaa  yethe  madhu madhanaa puna swartha kusalaa hyathma priya  suhrudha sadhava  thwacharanaambhujanu sevaam   visrrujanthi  na  yathra punarayam  samsara  paryaavartha.

Hey killer of Madhu, once  the divine  wise people  who are  your  great   devotees   taste a drop of the ocean of your nectar    like  greatness, due   to the ever ebbing flowing  joy of their  mind,  forget  all that was  heard  as well as seen  , forget all  experiences of pleasure  in this and outside world and find permanent peace   in god   who is the dear friend of all beings and who is all their soul. The good people  would always be busy  in praising you, who is their divine aim and would serve your lotus like feet , attaining  which no one ever comes back  to this Samsara.

10.Tribhuvanaathma bhavana trivikrama, trinayana,
Triloka manoharanubhaava  thaviva,
Vibhoothayo    dithi jathanujaadha yaschaapi,
THeshaam   nupa prakra samayo  ayamithi,
Swathma mayayaa  sura naramya gamisritha-,
Jala   charaakruthibhi  yadhaaparaadham ,
DAndam  danda dhara dadhartha evamenamapi ,
Bhagawan  jahi   thwaashtram  itha   yadhi manyase.

Oh God  who is  the soul of the  three  worlds,
Who lives in all  the three  worlds, who measured,
The three world by his three  steps , who is  the ruler  of three worlds,
Who is the giver  of joy to the three  worlds,
Though Asuras are  a part of you, determining  ,
That it is  not time    for their growth, taking incarnation,
Among devas , menand other beings, you  punish them.
Like that  , if you think , it is appropriate,
Please kill this asura   , who is son of thwashta.

11.Asmaakam  thavakaanaam   thava  nathaanaam,
 THatha  thathaamaha, thava charana nalina yugala,
Dhyananu badha hrudhaya  nigadaanaam swalim-.
Gavivareneba athmasalkruthaanaam anu-,
Kambaa  anuranjitha visadharuchira isira smithaava-,
Lokena vigalitha madhura mukhara saamyatha  kalayaa,
Cha anthasthaapaam anagha arhasi samayithum.

Hey father , Hey grandfather, we who are your  devotees,
As well as dependents, due to   your constant  meditation,
Our heart  has got tied with your lotus  like feet,
You showed yourself to us  and you  made us yours,
Please stifle the  great paion in our minds,  by giving us,
Your nectar  like words along    with  a pretty smile,
Which is an amalgamation of of love  as well as mercy.

12.Adha bhagawan   thava  asmaabhi  akhila jaga-
Dulpathi  sthithi laya nimithaayamaana dhivya mayaa,
Vinodhasya sakala  jeeva nikaayaanaam  nthar,
Hrudhayeshu  bahirapi  cha brahma prathyagaathma,
Swaroopena pradhana roopena cha Yadhaa-,
Desa kala deha avasthana visesham   thadhupaa-,
Dhaano pa  lambakthayanubhavatha sarva  prathyaya,
Saakshina aakasa  sareerasya saakshaath,
Parabrahmana paramaathmana kiyaniha
Vaa artha visesho   vijnapaneeya,
Syaadh visphu lingaadhi bhiriva hiranya  rethasaa.

Oh God , You are one who entertains  yourself,
With creation,  nurture   and destruction of the universe.
You are  inside every being as Brahmam   as well  as Athma,
And outside   as Prakruthi and you  the cause   and one  who shines in them,
Are as clear as the sky and witness  to their experiences.
Before you who is the  divine  soul as well as Brahmam,
Who knows the heart of every one  are like  raging fire,
And what   shall we who are   sparks of fire  tell you?

13.Atha   yeva swayam   thad upakalpaya asmaakam,
BHagawatha parama guro   thava  charana  satha  palaasa,
CChaayaam   vividha   vyajina samsara  parisramo  ,
Pasamameem  upasyathaanaam  vayam   yath kaamena upasaadhithaa.

Because of that, please know   why we  have come,
In search of your feet , surrendering  ourselves to it
Because you  save  beings  from  problems of travel ,

Poem
14. Adho  eesa jahee thwaashtram,
Grasantham   bhuvana  thrayam,
Grasthaani   yena  na  Krishna,
Thejaamsysthrayudhaani   cha

Oh Lord  you , who are in control,
Of all the   three  worlds,
Please kill that  Vruthra because,
He has swallowed all our power  and weapons.

15.Hamsaaya    dahra nilayaaya  , nireekshakaaya,
Krishnaaya mrushta  yasase  nirupakramaaya,
SAth samgrahaaya  bhava  paandha nijaasramaaptha-,
Vanthe   parishta  gathaye haraye  namasthe.

To the lord, who is eternally  pure, who lives in the sky  of our heart,
Who is the witness  of everything, who has form  of forever  divine joy,
Who is greatly famous, who is eternal , who is the   support  of the good people,
And who is the end of all  who are caught in Samsara, Our salutations

Lord Hari was pleased  with this prayer  and advised Devas to   approach  Sage Dadichi, get his body and with that  get made aWeapon called Vajrayudha  , so that  Indra can kill Vruthra
