जनार्दनोऽपि भगवान् नमस्कृत्य महेश्वरम् ॥ कृतांजलिपुटो भूत्वा तुष्टाव च महेश्वरम् ॥ २६ ॥

Lord Viṣṇu too bowed to lord Śiva. With palms joined in reverence, he eulogised lord Śiva.

विष्णुरुवाच ॥ देवाधीश महेशान दीनबंधो कृपाकर ॥ प्रसीद परमेशान कृपां कुरु नतप्रिय ॥ २७ ॥

Viṣṇu said: O overlord of the Gods, O great lord, O merciful one, O kinsman of the distressed. Be pleased, O supreme lord. Be merciful, O favourite of those who bow to you.

निर्गुणाय नमस्तुभ्यं पुनश्च सगुणाय च ॥ पुनः प्रकृतिरूपाय पुनश्च पुरुषाय च ॥ २८ ॥

Obeisance to you devoid of the attributes. Again obeisance to you possessed of attributes. Again obeisance to you of the form of Prakṛti and Puruṣa.
