by You; uddhrtam—rescued (from the bottom of the sea in Your
incarnation as Varaha).

TRANSLATION

Wherever Lord Ramacandra visited, the people approached Him
with paraphernalia of worship and begged the Lord’s blessings. ‘‘O
Lord,” they said, “as You rescued the earth from the bottom of the
sea in Your incarnation as a boar, may You now maintain it. Thus
we beg Your blessings.”

Ramacandra, they showered flowers upon Him.
