bhūtādirādiprakṛtiryasya rūpaṃ natō’smi tam ॥ 51 ॥

Dhruva said:
I bow to that Supreme Being whose form consists of earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect, and the primordial nature from which all elements originate.

śuddhaḥ sūkṣmō’khilavyāpī pradhānātparataḥ pumān ।
yasya rūpaṃ namastasmai puruṣāya guṇāśinē ॥ 52 ॥

Salutations to that Supreme Person who is pure, subtle, all-pervading, beyond primordial nature, and who transcends all material qualities.

buddhyādīnāṃ pradhānasya puruṣasya cha yaḥ paraḥ ॥ 53 ॥

He is the eternal Supreme Reality beyond all elements beginning with earth, their qualities like smell, intellect, nature, and the individual soul.

I offer my salutations to You, the Universal Self, whose infinite nature is known as Brahman, who is changeless and contemplated by yogis.

sahasraśīrṣā puruṣaḥ sahasrākṣaḥ sahasrapāt ।
sarvavyāpī bhuvaḥ sparśādatyatiṣṭhaddaśāṅgulam ॥ 56 ॥

The Supreme Person has a thousand heads, thousand eyes, and thousand feet. Being all-pervading, He extends beyond the entire universe.

yadbhūtaṃ yachcha vai bhavyaṃ puruṣōttama tadbhavān ।
tvattō virāṭ svarāṭ samrāṭ tvattaśchāpyadhipūruṣaḥ ॥ 57 ॥

O Supreme Person, You are everything that existed in the past and everything that will exist in the future. From You arise the cosmic forms and supreme beings.

akṣṇōḥ sūryō’nilaḥ prāṇāchchandramā manasastava ॥ 62 ॥

The Vaishyas arose from Your thighs and the Shudras from Your feet. The Sun came from Your eyes, air from Your life force, and the Moon from Your mind.

yathā hi kadalī nānyā tvakpatrādapi dṛśyatē ।
ēvaṃ viśvasya nānyastvaṃ tvatsthāyīśvara dṛśyatē ॥ 67 ॥

Just as a banana tree has no existence apart from its layers, this universe has no existence separate from You, O Lord.
