Dhayanam continued IV







meghashyaamam peethakausheya- vaasam srivata-saangam
kausthubhodh-bhaasithaangam |
punyopeytham pundareekayathaksham vande vishnum sarva-lokaika-naatham || 
 
cloud hued pure milk ocean dweller Laksmi on his chest I prostrate before vishNu,
the one Lord of the worlds, blue as the cloud and clothed in yellow robes. His chest
is marked by the mole known as srivatsa. His body is resplendent with kaustubha
gem. He is surrounded by holy persons. And he has wide eyes like lotuses.
 
namaH samasta bhuutaanaamaadibhuutaaya bhuubhR^ite . 
aneka ruupa ruupaaya vishhNave prabhavishhNave 
sashankha chakram sakireeda kundalam sapeetha vastram saraseeruhekshanam | 
sahaaravakshah sthalakausthubhasriyam namaami vishnum shirsachaturbhujam || 
 
I bow down my head before the four-handed Vishnu who sports in His hand the
Sankha and the discuss,
who is adorned with a crown and ear-pendants,
who wears a yellow cloth, whose eyes resemble
a lotus and whose chest is
beautified by many necklaces and the kaustubha mark.
