O Viṣṇu! Mighty god! Thou whom we honor and praise! Thy three great strides have measured out the entire universe. The first stride covereth the earth; the second stride reacheth unto the sky; the third stride extendeth into the highest heaven, where it is invisible to mortal eyes.

Through thy strides, O Viṣṇu, all things have been measured and ordered. Nothing escapeth thy knowledge; nothing falleth outside thy dominion. Thou art the sustainer of all things; thou art the preserver of the cosmos.

Thy strength is immeasurable; thy wisdom is infinite. Yet thou art also compassionate; thou art also merciful. Thou dost protect the righteous; thou dost guide those who are lost; thou dost grant blessing and grace to all who call upon thee.

We mortals live within thy shadow, O mighty one. The very earth beneath our feet hath been measured and sanctified by thy stride. The sky above us hath been ordered by thy second step. And the highest heaven, that realm beyond all knowing, is secured by thy third and final stride.

Accept our praises, O Viṣṇu! Accept our offerings! Bless us with thy presence! Let thy vast power protect us; let thy infinite wisdom guide us; let thy eternal compassion sustain us forever!
