You are water, light, essence, immortality, Brahman, and the three worlds (bhūr, bhuvaḥ, suvaḥ).
The Lord of all knowledge, the ruler of all beings.
The overlord of Brahmā, the Lord of the Vedas, may that Brahmā (the Supreme Brahman) be my auspiciousness as Sadāśiva (the eternally auspicious one).

Like an eye extended in the sky.
The learned sages, vigilant and striving, kindle that.
Which is the supreme abode of Viṣṇu.
The supreme truth, the highest Brahman, the person with dark and tawny eyes.
The one with upward energy, with diverse eyes, salutations to the one who embodies all forms.
We meditate upon Lord Nārāyaṇa and contemplate upon Vāsudeva.
May that Viṣṇu inspire and guide us.
