English Meaning
Beholding the enemy slain and Indra fled, the deities headed by fire again and again chanted the glories of Vişņu —the lord of three worlds saying: O great god, you are the refuge of the three worlds. You are the first-born and the father of the universe. For protecting all creatures you have assumed this Vişnu from. You have slain this Vặtra but the sin of slaying a Brahmana has visited Indra. Therefore, O excellent Puruşa, do you so arrange that he may i be freed from sins.
