Chapter Two - Sujanōdadhisaṁvr̥ddhi (द्वितीयोध्यायः - सुजनोदधिसंवृद्धि)
May Indirā’s lord—the full moon that swells the ocean of good people, an ocean of virtues, and replete with immense bliss—be pleased with us. (1)
Homage to you, Nārāyaṇa—the moon for the cakori bird Ramā, the fire consuming the waters of the wicked’s pride, and the home of virtuous wayfarers. (2)
Salutation to Ramā’s beloved, the householder in the unmanifest, who, having made the entire distinction between the sentient and the insentient, takes it up and enjoys it. (3)
I bow to that Hari who, though he is the essence of abundant virtues, is always gazed upon by Indirā with a gentle smile and is filled with bliss. (4)
A master, he is subject to no one’s control and has conquered all. The creator of all is not himself created. I bow to him, the Lord of Ramā. (5)
Homage to you, Vāsudeva, who are without qualities, whose nature is an abundance of virtues, who are the primal creator, and who have torn apart hosts of enemies. (6)
Homage to you, the primordial god, the lord of the gods, whose enemies are vanquished, the end of beginningless ignorance, the best of the excellent. (7)
Homage to you, O Garuḍa-bannered one, conqueror of Ākhali the Dānava, unborn creator of this world, whose feet are worthy of worship by Aja and others. (8)
Homage to the perfect Hari, whose person is regarded by Indirā’s gentle, intense, excellent sidelong glance and whose sole task is to fulfill our desire. (9)
Thus ends the second chapter of the Dvādaśastotra composed by the illustrious Ānandatīrtha Bhagavatpādācārya.
