Translation

The Supreme Lord, master of the four states, who removes suffering for those who worship him as his four expansions, each exhibiting limbs, associates, weapons and ornaments, maintains the four phases of existence. The implied meaning is made clear. These four forms with their limbs, associates, weapons and ornaments, maintain the four states of consciousness. The vibhūti of Vāsudeva along with his limbs, associates etc. is the waking state. Hari is the lord who removes the suffering of his worshippers. Īśvara means the controller of all four states.
