PLATE SEVEN

While King Satyavrata constantly meditated upon the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead, a large golden fish with one horn appeared in the
ocean of inundation. Following the instructions that the Supreme Lord
had previously imparted to him, the King anchored the boat to the fish’s
horn, using the serpent Vasuki as a rope. Thus being satisfied, the King
began offering prayers to the Lord: “O Supreme Lord, for self-
realization I surrender unto You, who are worshiped by the demigods as
the supreme controller of everything. By Your instructions, exposing
life’s purpose, kindly cut the knot from the core of my heart and let me
know the destination of my life.” When King Satyavrata had thus prayed
to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who had assumed the form of a
fish, the Lord, while moving in the water of inundation, explained to him
the Absolute Truth. (pp. 256-270)
