नतोऽस्म्यहं त्वाखिलहेतुहेतुं नारायणं पूरुषमाद्यमव्ययम् । यन्नाभिजातादरविन्दकोशाद् ब्रह्माविरासीद्यत एष लोकः ॥ १॥

nato'smy ahaṁ tvākhila-hetu-hetuṁ nārāyaṇaṁ pūruṣam ādyam avyayam | yan-nābhi-jātād aravinda-kośād brahmāvirāsīd yata eṣa lokaḥ || 1||

I bow down to You, the cause of all causes, Narayana, the original and imperishable Supreme Person — from the whorl of the lotus born of whose navel appeared Brahma, and from whom this entire world has come forth.

भूस्तोयमग्निः पवनं खमादिर् महानजादिर्मन इन्द्रियाणि । सर्वेन्द्रियार्था विबुधाश्च सर्वे ये हेतवस्ते जगतोऽङ्गभूताः ॥ २॥

bhūs toyam agniḥ pavanaṁ kham ādir mahān ajādir mana indriyāṇi | sarvendriyārthā vibudhāś ca sarve ye hetavas te jagato'ṅga-bhūtāḥ || 2||

Earth, water, fire, air, ether and their source (false ego); the mahat-tattva; the unborn primal nature; the mind, the senses, the sense-objects and all the presiding deities — all these causes of the cosmos are but parts of Your transcendental body.

नमो विज्ञानमात्राय सर्वप्रत्ययहेतवे । पुरुषेशप्रधानाय ब्रह्मणेऽनन्तशक्तये ॥ ३॥

namo vijñāna-mātrāya sarva-pratyaya-hetave | puruṣeśa-pradhānāya brahmaṇe'nanta-śaktaye || 3||

Obeisance to You, who are pure transcendental consciousness itself, the source of all awareness, the master of the puruṣa and of primordial nature — to the Supreme Brahman of infinite potencies.

नमस्ते वासुदेवाय सर्वभूतक्षयाय च । हृषीकेश नमस्तुभ्यं प्रपन्नं पाहि मां प्रभो ॥ ४॥

namas te vāsudevāya sarva-bhūta-kṣayāya ca | hṛṣīkeśa namas tubhyaṁ prapannaṁ pāhi māṁ prabho || 4||

Obeisance to You, Vasudeva, the resting place of all created beings; O Hrishikesha, Lord of the senses, obeisance unto You. O Lord, protect me, for I have surrendered to You.
