तथाभूतमहं दृष्ट्वा सदसन्मयमात्मना ॥ नारायणं महाबाहु हर्षितो ह्यभवं तदा ॥ २१ ॥

Seeing that form, which was the essence of both existence and non-existence, I beheld the mighty-armed Narayana, and I became overjoyed.

english translation

मायया मोहितश्शम्भोस्तदा लीलात्मनः प्रभोः ॥ अविज्ञाय स्वजनकं तमवोचं प्रहर्षितः ॥ २२ ॥

Deluded by the illusion of Śiva, the sportive lord, I could not recognise my progenitor in him. I addressed him with delight.

english translation

ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ कस्त्वं वदेति हस्तेन समुत्थाप्य सनातनम् ॥ तदा हस्तप्रहारेण तीव्रेण सुदृढेन तु ॥ २३ ॥

Brahmā said: Who are you? Please tell me”, saying this I tried to wake the Eternal Being. [When he did not wake up] I tried to wake him up with fiercer and firmer beatings of the hand.

english translation

प्रबुद्ध्योत्थाय शयनात्समासीनः क्षणं वशी ॥ ददर्श निद्राविक्लिन्ननीरजामललोचनः ॥२४॥

Then the lord who had self-control woke up from his bed and sat. He looked up with his pure eyes resembling a wet lotus, due to sleep.

english translation

मामत्र संस्थितं भासाध्यासितो भगवान्हरिः ॥ आह चोत्थाय ब्रह्माणं हसन्मां मधुरं सकृत् ॥ २५ ॥

As I stood there quietly, the lord Viṣṇu spread his brilliance over me. Standing up he smiled once and spoke these sweet words.
