TRANSLATION

My Lord, as the original boar within this universe, You fought
and killed the great demon Hiranyaksa. Then You lifted me [the
earth] from the Garbhodaka Ocean on the end of Your tusk, ex-
actly as a sporting elephant plucks a lotus flower from the water. I
bow down before You.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fifth Canto, Eighteenth
Chapter of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled, ““The Prayers Offered to the
Lord by the Residents of Jambiidvipa.”
