I offer respects to the Lord, uninfluenced by ignorance with its five functions, who holds all the living beings in his stomach, and who goes to sleep happily with the comfortable touch of the bed of Śeṣa in the water, amidst a multitude of waves fearful to all people.
Brahmā offers respects to the form he sees in front of him in two verses. The Lord sleeps without being overcoming by the ignorance with its five functions which causes sleep.[238] The five functions of ignorance act because of him. His sleep is composed of his svarūpa-śakti. The Lord contains all the living beings, who are merged in his stomach. The sleep is made comfortable by the touch of the bed, Śeṣa. You are content sleeping on the soft bed within the water, like a common person. You sport like a common person. Or, even at the time of destruction, in the ocean which gives fear to all people, even on the bed of a snake, you sleep happily. You are without fear at all times, in all places, in any association. No one else is. Only a very sleepy person, will happily sleep even if there is fear because of time, place of association.

O worshipable Lord! I offer respects to the Lord from whose navel lotus abode I appear, by whose mercy I give benefit to the three worlds, who holds the universe in his belly, and who glances with his open lotus eye at the end of the night of devastation.
I arose (āsam) from the abode in the lotus in his navel. I am the maker of the three worlds, or I benefit the three worlds by creating. I offer respects to the Lord who has the material realm (bhavāya) situated in his belly, who has a glance like a blossoming lotus at the end of yoganidrā, at the end of night. O my Lord! Ocean of mercy! Wake up! Wake up! I, your servant, should perform maṅgalārātrika for you.
