Om Sahasra Shirsham Devam Vishvaksham Vishva Shambhuvam Vishvam Narayanam Devam Aksharam Paramam Padam

Om. Narayana, the divine, has a thousand heads, all-pervading eyes, and is the source of all well-being. He is the entire universe; He is the imperishable supreme reality, the ultimate abode.

Narayana, the supreme and eternal, transcends the universe yet pervades it as Hari, the remover of sorrow. All of this cosmos is that Purusha; the entire universe lives and breathes within Him.

Yasya Sarve Samutpanna Jagatyasmin Maharsayah Deva Devarshayas Chaiva Vaishnavas Te Cha Shashvatah

From Him have arisen all the great sages who dwell in this world. The gods, the divine seers, and the devotees of Vishnu, all have their eternal origin in Him.

यच्च किञ्चिज्जगत्यस्मिन् दृश्यते श्रूयतेऽपि वा। अन्तर्बहिश्च तत्सर्वं व्याप्य नारायणः स्थितः। अनन्तमव्ययं कविं समुद्रेऽन्तं विश्वशम्भुवम्॥

Yac Ca Kincij Jagat Sarvam Drishyate Shrooyate Api Va Antar Bahish Cha Tat Sarvam Vyapya Narayanah Sthitah Anantam Avyayam Kavim Samudre Antam Vishva Shambhuvam

Whatever in this world is seen or heard, Narayana pervades all of this, within and without, and remains established in everything. He is infinite, inexhaustible, all-knowing, the innermost depth of the cosmic ocean, the source of all well-being.

Agnir Vishvabhidutash Cha Vidyud Varshiva Chastithah Suryash Chandramasau Chobhau Narayanamayau Smritau

Fire is His universal messenger; He stands forth like lightning and rain bestowing life. Both the sun and the moon are declared to be filled with Narayana, radiant expressions of His luminous essence.

हृदये चाष्टपत्रे च अधो निष्ठ्या विलोचनः। आदित्यो भास्करो ज्योतिः स्वयमेव स्वयम्भुवः॥

Hridaye Cha Ashta Patre Cha Adho Nishthya Vilochanah Adityo Bhaskaro Jyotih Svayam Eva Svayambhuvah

In the eight-petaled lotus of the heart, He gazes downward in deep contemplation. He is the sun, the self-luminous light, the self-born radiance that shines by its own power from within.
