Rig Veda
nū marto dayate saniṣyan yo viṣṇava urugāyāya dāśat pra yaḥ satrācā manasā yajāta etāvantaṃ naryam āvivāsāt
Ne'er doth the man repent, who, seeking profit, bringeth his gift to the far-striding Vishnu. He who adoreth him with all his spirit winneth himself so great a benefactor.
tvaṃ viṣṇo sumatiṃ viśvajanyām aprayutām evayāvo matiṃ dāḥ parco yathā naḥ suvitasya bhūrer aśvāvataḥ puruścandrasya rāyaḥ
Thou, Vishnu, constant in thy courses, gavest good-will to all men, and a hymn that lasteth, That thou mightst move us to abundant comfort of very splendid wealth with store of horses.
trir devaḥ pṛthivīm eṣa etāṃ vi cakrame śatarcasam mahitvā pra viṣṇur astu tavasas tavīyān tveṣaṃ hy asya sthavirasya nāma
Three times strode forth this God in all his grandeur over this earth bright with a hundred splendours. Foremost be Vishnu, stronger than the strongest: for glorious is his name who lives for ever.
vi cakrame pṛthivīm eṣa etāṃ kṣetrāya viṣṇur manuṣe daśasyan dhruvāso asya kīrayo janāsa urukṣitiṃ sujanimā cakāra
Over this earth with mighty step strode Vishnu, ready to give it for a home to Manu. In him the humble people trust for safety: he, nobly born, hath made them spacious dwellings.
pra tat te adya śipiviṣṭa nāmāryaḥ śaṃsāmi vayunāni vidvān taṃ tvā gṛṇāmi tavasam atavyān kṣayantam asya rajasaḥ parāke
To-day I laud this name, O gipivista, I, skilled in rules, the name of thee the Noble. Yea, I the poor and weak praise thee the Mighty who dwellest in the realm beyond this region.
kim it te viṣṇo paricakṣyam bhūt pra yad vavakṣe śipiviṣṭo asmi mā varpo asmad apa gūha etad yad anyarūpaḥ samithe babhūtha
What was there to be blamed in thee, O Vishnu, when thou declaredst, I am Sipivishta? Hide not this form from us, nor keep it secret, since thou didst wear another shape in battle.
vaṣaṭ te viṣṇav āsa ā kṛṇomi tan me juṣasva śipiviṣṭa havyam vardhantu tvā suṣṭutayo giro me yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
O Vishnu, unto thee my lips cry Vashat! Let this mine offering, Sipivishta, please thee. May these my songs of eulogy exalt thee. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
