You lick, You taste, swallowing, drawing within, on every side, all the worlds, entire, with Your mouths, blazing, glowing. Filling, wholly pervading the whole world with Your radiances, the whole of it together with what lies before. Further, Your fierce, cruel rays of light scorch, work their scorching, O Viṣṇu, You of pervading nature. Since You are of so fierce a nature, therefore.

Devouring all the kingly worlds together with your blazing mouths, by the force of wrath you lick again and again your lip-folds and the rest moistened with their blood. Your exceedingly terrible rays, the beams, with their own light, filling the whole world, scorch it. Entreated by you, in 'show me yourself, the imperishable', to behold directly your unchecked lordship, you, showing that unchecked lordship, have made manifest this exceedingly terrible form.
