सान्द्रानन्दतनो हरे ननु पुरा दैवासुरे सङ्गरे

| सान्द्र-आनन्द-तनो | condensed bliss incarnate |
| हरे ननु पुरा | O Lord! Even long ago |

O Lord Hari! Condensed bliss incarnate! Long ago, in the battle between the Devas and Asuras, some of the Asuras, even though slain by Thee,did not get liberation because of their residual Karmas. So they were born again on the earth. Mother earth being very much tormented by their burden sought refuge in Brahmaa and reached his abode, where the Devas had already gone.
हा हा दुर्जनभूरिभारमथितां पाथोनिधौ पातुका-

Seeing the Earth in such a helpless state and also looking at the faces of the Devas, who had assembled there, Brahmaa meditated on Thee.
ऊचे चाम्बुजभूरमूनयि सुरा: सत्यं धरित्र्या वचो
नन्वस्या भवतां च रक्षणविधौ दक्षो हि लक्ष्मीपति: ।
सर्वे शर्वपुरस्सरा वयमितो गत्वा पयोवारिधिं
नत्वा तं स्तुमहे जवादिति ययु: साकं तवाकेतनम् ॥३॥
नन्वस्या भवतां च रक्षणविधौ दक्षो हि लक्ष्मीपति: ।
सर्वे शर्वपुरस्सरा वयमितो गत्वा पयोवारिधिं
नत्वा तं स्तुमहे जवादिति ययु: साकं तवाकेतनम् ॥३॥
| ऊचे च-अम्बुजभू:- | and said Brahmaa |
| अमून्-अयि सुरा: | to them , O Devas |
| सत्यं धरित्र्या वच: | true are the Earth's words |

| नत्वा तं स्तुमहे जवात्- | will prostrate before him and sing his praises, quickly |
| इति ययु: साकं | together (they) went |
| तव-आकेतनम् | to Thy abode |
Presently, the lotus born Brahmaa said to the Devas that what the Mother Earth was saying was indeed true. In the matter of the protection of the Devas and the Earth, Maha Vishnu alone was capable. So all of them and Brahmaa, led by Shiva would quickly go from there to the Milk Ocean and prostrate before Him and sing hymns of his prise. So together they went to Thy abode.
