When everything  was drowned in darkness,

Oh god , who is   everywhere supporting,

These three  fold division , My salutations to you

The form of   wisdom    and science,

Who shows  himself through  soul  ,

Organs , mind as well  as brain.

The lord and director  of  the souls of all beings,

You are  also the lord of their mind and sense organs,

And you are  the controller  of the world and the body.

By Vedas  which is your body , you have  given,

The endless one and you know  everything as their soul.

All Vedas and sciences   are  your forms only,

You are  definitely   that  Brahmam , which,

Keeps  all  the  universes within you.

Using  the universe  which is your body, you   enjoy,

The sense organs, soul   as well  as mind and also,

You live invisible and stable think inside  all beings.
