शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम् । लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यं वन्दे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम् ॥१॥

Śāntākāraṃ Bhujagaśayanaṃ Padmanābhaṃ Sureśaṃ Viśvādhāraṃ Gaganasadṛśaṃ Meghavarṇaṃ Śubhāṅgam | Lakṣmīkāntaṃ Kamalanayanaṃ Yogibhirdhyānagamyaṃ Vande Viṣṇuṃ Bhavabhayaharaṃ Sarvalokaikanātham ||1||

I bow to Vishnu, the one Lord of all worlds, who is of a peaceful form, who lies on the serpent, from whose navel springs the lotus, the Lord of gods, the support of the universe, like the sky, of the color of clouds, with auspicious limbs, the consort of Lakshmi, the lotus-eyed one, accessible to yogis through meditation, the remover of the fear of worldly existence.

औषधे चिन्तयेद्विष्णुं भोजने च जनार्दनम् । शयने पद्मनाभं च विवाहे च प्रजापतिम् ॥२॥

Auṣadhe cintayedviṣṇuṃ bhojane ca janārdanam | Śayane padmanābhaṃ ca vivāhe ca prajāpatim ||2||

One should think of Vishnu while taking medicine, Janardana while eating, Padmanabha while sleeping, and Prajapati during marriage. (2)

युद्धे चक्रधरं देवं प्रवासे च त्रिविक्रमम् । नारायणं तनुत्यागे श्रीधरं प्रियसङ्गमे ॥३॥

Yuddhe cakradharaṃ devaṃ pravāse ca trivikramam | Nārāyaṇaṃ tanutyāge śrīdharaṃ priyasaṅgame ||3||

One should think of the god Chakradhara during battle, Trivikrama during a journey, Narayana at the time of leaving the body, and Sridhara upon meeting a loved one. (3)

दुःस्वप्ने स्मर गोविन्दं सङ्कटे मधुसूदनम् । कानने नारसिंहं च पावके जलशायिनम् ॥४॥

Duḥsvapne smara govindaṃ saṅkaṭe madhusūdanam | Kānane nārasiṃhaṃ ca pāvake jalaśāyinam ||4||

Remember Govinda during a bad dream, Madhusudana in times of trouble, Narasimha in the forest, and Jalashayinam (one who lies on water) in a fire. (4)

जलमध्ये वराहं च पर्वते रघुनन्दनम् । गमने वामनं चैव सर्वकार्येषु माधवम् ॥५॥

Jalamadhye varāhaṃ ca parvate raghunandanam | Gamane vāmanaṃ caiva sarvakāryeṣu mādhavam ||5||

Think of Varaha in the middle of water, Raghunandana (Rama) on a mountain, Vamana while walking, and Madhava in all activities. (5)
