sleep of yoga on the Banyan tree 78; Oh you who are
the Tatwa (Reality, the prototype of all grace and
the lord of all earths, salutations, salutations, a
thousand salutations to you. Oh you, who are the

Vedas; Oh you, who are the bee in the grand lotus
of the heart of those who have destroyed all ideas
of heterogeneity; Oh you, who are the Lord of all
souls, salutations, salutations, a thousand
salutations to you.‟
At these various eulogies of Prahlada, Vishnu with
a gladsome look deigned to speak thus ,„Oh
Prahlada of true love, you are free to demand of
me a boon which will not make you be subject to
the trammels of re-births.‟

Vitala, etc., up to Patala.

leaf at the beginning of a creation.
