VISHNU


Meditate upon Him (Fire) seated on a lotus, four-armed, radiant like the rising sun. In His lap ever dwells R, who is of a pure vermilion hue. He (R) is white with the ashes with which He is smeared; of an ancient aspect and three-eyed, His hands are placed in the attitude of granting boons and of dispelling fear. He is the destroyer of creation.
