unto the all-pervading Supreme Personality of Godhead.
I offer my respectful obeisances unto You, the all-pervading Lord Viṣṇu, who have entered the cores of the hearts of all living entities. All the three worlds reside within Your navel, yet You are above the three worlds. Formerly You appeared as the son of Pṛśni. To You, the supreme creator, who are understood only through Vedic knowledge, I offer my respectful obeisances.

Gauḍīya
Translation
I offer my respectful obeisances to you, Viṣṇu, who appeared in the womb of Pṛśni, [Note: The Lord appeared from Pṛśni, Aditi and Devakī to fulfill his promise.] within whom reside the Vedas and the three worlds. I offer respects to you who are sacred knowledge, who are situated above the three worlds, and who have entered the jīvas as antaryāmī.
The Lord has the three worlds in his navel. He is situated above the upper, middle and lower planets, since he dwells in Vaikuṇṭha (tri-prṣṭhāya). Śipi means animals or jīvas. The Lord has entered the jīvas as antaryāmī.
Personal Guidance
Obeisances to You who entered every heart; three worlds reside in Your navel; You are above the three worlds. Formerly You appeared as Pṛśni's son. The Lord's history is also His present capacity.
Reflection Questions
- What past appearance of the Lord do I remember as historical when it actually reveals current capacity?
- Where do I separate cosmic Lord and intimate-heart Lord, missing the simultaneous reality?
