brahmaṇā devadevena sārdhaṃ salilayoninā
brahmalokaṃ gato brahman vaikuṇṭhaḥ kiṃ cakāra ha //

kimarthaṃ cādidevena nītaḥ salilayoninā
viṣṇur daityavadhe vṛtte devair akṛtasatkriyaḥ //

brahmaloke ca kiṃ sthānaṃ kaṃ vā yogam upāsta saḥ
kaṃ vā dadhāra niyamaṃ sa vibhur bhūtabhāvanaḥ //

kathaṃ tatrāsatas tasya viśvaṃ jagad idaṃ mahat
śriyam āpnoti vipulāṃ surāsuranarārcitām //

kathaṃ svapiti gharmānte budhyate cāmbudakṣaye
kathaṃ ca brahmalokastho dhuraṃ vahati laukikīm //

caritaṃ tasya viprendra divyaṃ bhagavato divi
vistareṇa yathātattvaṃ sarvam icchāmi veditum //

śṛṇu nārāyaṇasyādau vistareṇa pravṛttayaḥ
brahmalokaṃ yathārūḍho brahmaṇā saha modate //

kāmaṃ tasya gatiḥ sūkṣmā devair api durānugā
yat tu śakṣyāmy ahaṃ vaktuṃ tan me nigadataḥ śṛṇu //

eṣa lokamayo devo lokāś caitan mayāstrayaḥ
eṣa devamayaś caiva devāś caitan mayā divi //

devena vardhate yad dhi sarvaṃ tad dhi janārdanāt
yat pravṛttaṃ ca devebhyas tad viddhi madhusūdanāt //

agnīṣomamayaṃ lokaṃ yaṃ vidur viduṣo janāḥ
taṃ somam agniṃ lokaṃ ca veda viṣṇuṃ pitāmahaḥ //

kṣīrād yathā dadhi bhaved dadhnaḥ sarpir yathā bhavet
mathyamāneṣu bhūteṣu tathā loko janārdanāt //

yathendriyaiś ca bhūtaiś ca paramātmā vidhīyate
tathā vedaiś ca devaiś ca lokaiś ca vidito hariḥ //

yathā bhūtendriyāvāptir vihitā bhuvi dehinām
tathā prāṇeśvarāvāptir devānāṃ divi vaiṣṇavī //

satriṇāṃ satraphaladaḥ pavitraṃ paramātmavān
lokatantradharo hy eva mantrair mantra ivārcyate //

asya pāraṃ na paśyanti bahavaḥ pāratantriṇaḥ
eṣa pāraṃ paraṃ caiva lokānāṃ veda mādhavaḥ //

asya devān dhakārasya mārgitavyasya daivataiḥ
śṛṇu vai yat tadā vṛttaṃ brahmaloke purātanam //

yajñair ijyantam ātmānam paśyaṃs tatra cacāra ha //

tam ūcur ṛṣayo devāḥ sadasyāḥ sadasi sthitāḥ
arghyodyatabhujāḥ sarve pavitrān taritānanāḥ //

svāgataṃ te suraśreṣṭha padmanābha mahādyute
namo 'stu te hṛṣīkeśa madhukaiṭabhasūdana |
dāmodara namas te 'stu padmapatrāyatekṣaṇa ||

tvayi yoddhu gate viṣṇo na prāvartanta naḥ kriyāḥ
avaiṣṇavasya yajñasya na hi karma vidhīyate //

sadakṣiṇasya yajñasya tvatprasūtaṃ phalaṃ bhavet
sadakṣiṇamahāyajñās tvatprasūtir janārdana |
yady ātmānam ihāsmābhir ijyamānaṃ nirīkṣase //
