Narayana

Oh gods, churn the Ocean, and you will discover the celestial ambrosia.

I am Narayana, the source of all things, eternal and unchanging. I am the creator and destroyer of all things.

One should enjoy various kinds of happiness in this life and the next by being truthful, simple, hospitable, virtuous, and loving towards their spouse.

The Earth, being the embodiment of Truth, will be able to bear the load of creatures.

As a result of this action, you will become unchanging and no one will be able to surpass you.

You are the creator of the duties that are to be observed in the respective ages.

After reflecting in this manner, the renowned slayer of Madhu created various forms in his mind to appear from time to time and accomplish the task.

I have to uphold the Earth in empty space by assuming the form of a mighty snake.

Upheld by me in this way, she will support the entire creation, both movable and immovable.

Thus, I will have to rescue the Earth from danger at such times by incarnating on it in different forms.

You should focus on distributing the Vedas, as you are the most intelligent person.

You will see the events of thousands and thousands of past ages.

Despite being a practitioner of severe austerities, you will not be able to free yourself from worldly desires and attachments.
