| Lord Vishnu, who took many forms - as Thy arrow, as the Thy mount, as Thy consort occupying half They body, as a boar, as Thy friend, as Thy drummer etc. - and who offered his eyes at Thy feet ( in place of lotus flower) - that Vishnu, forming a part of Thy very being, is indeed the most worshipful among the worshipful. If not he, who is there to excel him? |
