72 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 8
TRANSLATION
May the Lord, who assumes the body of a great fish, protect me
in the water from the fierce animals that are associates of the
demigod Varuna. By expanding His illusory energy, the Lord
assumed the form of the dwarf Vamana. May Vamana protect me
on the land. Since the gigantic form of the Lord, Visvarapa, con-
quers the three worlds, may He protect me in the sky.
PURPORT
This mantra seeks the protection of the Supreme Personality of God-
head in the water, land and sky in His incarnations as the fish,
Vamanadeva and the Visvariipa.
