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

śāntākāraṃ bhujagaśayanaṃ padmanābhaṃ sureśam | viśvādhāraṃ gaganasadṛśaṃ meghavarṇaṃ śubhāṅgam | lakṣmīkāntaṃ kamalanayanaṃ yogibhirdhyānagamyam | vande viṣṇuṃ bhavabhayaharaṃ sarvalokaikanātham ||1||

I bow to Vishnu, the peaceful one, who rests on the serpent, who has a lotus emerging from his navel, who is the lord of the gods, the support of the universe, vast as the sky, dark as a cloud, with beautiful limbs, the beloved of Lakshmi, lotus-eyed, attainable through meditation by yogis, the remover of worldly fear, the sole lord of all worlds.

ध्यायेन्नित्यं महेशं रजतगिरिनिभं चारुचन्द्रावतंसम् । रत्नाकल्पोज्ज्वलाङ्गं परशुमृगवराभीतिहस्तं प्रसन्नम् । पद्मासीनं समन्तात् स्तुतममरगणैर्व्याघ्रकृत्तिं वसानम् । विश्वाद्यं विश्वबीजं निखिलभयहरं पञ्चवक्त्रं त्रिनेत्रम् ॥२॥

Meditate always on Mahesha (Shiva), white as a silver mountain, adorned with a beautiful crescent moon, his limbs radiant with gem-like ornaments, holding in his hands the axe, the deer, the boon, and fearlessness, serene, seated on a lotus, praised by the gods on all sides, clad in a tiger skin, the beginning of the universe, the seed of the universe, the remover of all fears, with five faces and three eyes.
