O Keśava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of a fish! All glories to You! You easily acted as a boat in the form of a giant fish just to give protection to the Vedas, which had become immersed in the turbulent sea of devastation.

O Keśava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of a tortoise! All glories to You!

From holding up the huge mountain a large scarlike depression is put in Your back, which has become most glorious.
