|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||

I shall meditate upon Lord Vishnu who personified as divine fish/Jalasanchari, in order to protect the sacred Veda and scriptures, Oh! Karunamoorthe/symbol of mercy, why you didn’t show any haste to protect me from the grief and sorrows I shall meditate upon Lord Vishnu who personified as Koorma, in order to reinstate the Mount Mandhara and protect the deities, Oh! Karunamoorthe/symbol of mercy, why you didn’t show any haste to protect me from the grief and sorrows, I shall meditate upon Lord Vishnu who personified as Kroda/wild boar in order to protect the Mother earth, Oh!

Karunamoorthe/symbol of mercy, why you didn’t show any haste to protect me from the grief and sorrows.

Whoever recites or listens to the magnificent ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu with utmost faith and devotion would be blessed with liberation from the repeated births.
