TRANSLATION

“‘O Lord of the universe, best of the Yadu dynasty, we are offering our
prayers unto You mainly to diminish the heavy burden of the universe. Indeed,
You diminished this burden formerly by incarnating in the form of a fish, a
horse [Hayagrival], a tortoise, a lion [Lord Nrsirmha], a boar [Lord Varahal] and a
swan. You also incarnated as Lord Ramacandra, ParaSurama and Vamana the
dwarf. You have always protected us demigods and the universe in this way.
Now please continue.’
