Viṣhṇu Sahasranāmam 4 - Dhyanam - kṣīrodanvant pradeśe śuchimaṇi




DHYANAM:


kṣīro - danvant  pradeśe śuchimaṇi vilasat saikate  maukti-kānāṁ  ..3.1

May mukundA, with the discuss, mace, conch and lotus in His hands, purify us- mukundA who is seated on a seat of garlands of pearls, in the region of the milky ocean with the sand shining by the light from pure gems; who is adorned by pearls transparent like crystals; and who is enjoying ecstatic bliss on account of pure white clouds overhead, raining showers of nectar.

[I bow to Lord vishNu who has the three worlds as His body. The Earth is His feet, and the sky His navel. Wind is His breath, and the Sun and the Moon are His eyes. Directions are His ears, and the Heaven is His head. Fire is His face and ocean His abdomen. In Him is situated the universe with diverse kinds of Gods, men, birds, cattle, serpents, gandharvas and daityas (demons)- all sporting in a charming way.]

Om namo Bhagavate Vāsudevāya || 3.9
