Sri Vishnushatpadi

उद्धृतनग नगविदनज दनजकुलावित्र वित्रशवशदृष्टे । दृष्टे ििवत प्रििवत न ििवत वकं ििवतरसकारः ॥ ४॥

O Lord! You held aloft the mountain, you are the younger brother of the mountain-breaker (Indra), you are the enemy of the Asura clan, and you have the sun and the moon as eyes! When you are seen, how can it be that I will not lose interest in this birth and attachment to samsara? ितस्ाददविरितारैरितारिताऽिता सदा िसधाि् । ्परिटेश्वर ्पदर्पाल्यो ििता ििता्पिरीतयोऽहि् ॥ ५॥

O Supreme Lord! I who am frightened by the sufferings caused by samsara, deserve to be saved by you who took Matsya and other incarnations to always protect the world. दाियोदर गणु्िन्दर सणु्दरिदनारवि्द गयोवि्द । ििजलवधिथनि्दर ्परिं दरि्पन् तिं िटे ॥ ६॥

O Lord with the binding rope around your waist (Damodara), O abode of all auspicious qualities (Gunamandira), O charming Lord with lotus-like face (Sundaravadanaravinda), O one who cares about all the beings (Govinda), O Lord who are the very Mandara mountain that can help in churning the ocean of samsara, please remove my great fears. नारा्् करु्ाि् शर्ं करिाव् तािकौ चर्ौ । इवत षट्पदरी िदरी्टे िदनसरयोज सदा िसत ॥ ७॥

The supreme being who is having water as his abode (Narayana), the compassionate one (Karunamaya), I seek the refuge of your lotus-like feet.

May this Shatpadi, the six versed stotram, which is like the six legged honey bee, forever revolve in my lotus-like face (may I always chant it). ॥ इवत श्रीिद् शङ्कराचा््यविरवचतं विष्णुषट्पदरीसतयोत्रं सम्प््यि् ॥
