ऊचुश्च सर्वे देवेशं विष्णुं वृत्रभयार्दिताः । त्वया लोकास्त्रयः क्रान्तास्त्रिभिर्विक्रमणैः प्रभो ॥ ५-१०-६॥

Afflicted by fear of Vṛtra, they all addressed Viṣṇu, lord of the Devas: “By you, O Lord, the three worlds were traversed in three strides.”

Viṣṇu said: I must certainly accomplish what is supremely beneficial for you. Therefore I shall state a method by which that adverse outcome will not come to pass.
