viṣṇu ṣaṭpadi

O Vishnu, remove arrogance, subdue my mind, and calm the thirst for worldly desires. Expand compassion towards all beings, and guide me across the ocean of worldly existence.

In the divine nectar of bliss, with the fragrance of true existence, I bow to the lotus feet of the Lord, which dispel the sorrows of existence.

O Lord, even in the dissolution of differences, I am yours, and you are mine; like the ocean and its waves, one cannot exist without the other.

O Lord, who uplifts the mountains and protects the kin of demons, those who see you are blessed. Whether you manifest or not, what remains unfulfilled in your presence?

O Supreme Lord, who takes various forms, you are always the protector of the earth through your incarnations. I am afraid of the fears of existence; please protect me.

O Govinda, the embodiment of all virtues, whose beautiful lotus-like face shines with grace, please help me overcome the ocean of existence.

O Narayana, the embodiment of compassion, I take refuge at your lotus feet. May my heart always dwell at your lotus-like face.
