the form of a marine animal, must be the Supreme Lord in
person, the inexhaustible Lord Nârâyana there
to show Your mercy to all living entities.

the Lord had said saw he a boat coming near which he,
taking the herbs and creepers with him, boarded with the

(45) Pleased to fasten
the boat onto that horn using the great serpent for a
rope the way before the Lord had advised, satisfied he
the Killer of Madhu.
