From the great Narayana.

All these came from Janardhana

But He is one,

And he divides himself,

And exists in all beings,

And rules all of them,

Without death and decay.

I would take care,

Of worries and cares of Him,

Who thinks and serves me,

Without any other thoughts,

To take care of Dharma,

To protect those who are good,

And to destroy all who are bad.

I will be born from time to time.

If he who is worried,

If he who is sad,

If he who is broken,

If he who is afraid,

If he who is severely ill,

If he who has heard tidings bad,

chants Narayana and sings Narayana's praise,

All his cares would be taken care of
