961. When Sriman Narayana took the form of an angry man-lion
Even the brave shuddered with fear.
He tore open the vast chest of Hiraṇya,
Making the gods bow down,
With their gem-studded crowns touching the ground.
That Sriman Narayana now resides in the sacred Himalayas,
Where wild boars dig through rocks,
Cracking them with their curved tusks,
While radiant gemstones and glowing waterfalls
Tumble down the slopes.
Go, O heart, and reach Thiruppirithi!
