Vishnu ji

The preserver; Ekadashi is his

बलिराज नमस्तुभ्यं दैत्यदानववन्दित।

balirāja namastubhyaṁ daityadānavavandita.

O Bali Raja, honoured by the daityas and the danavas, I bow to you.

इन्द्रशत्रोऽमराराते विष्णुसान्निध्यदो भव॥

indraśatro'marārāte viṣṇusānnidhyado bhava.

Rival of Indra, foe of the devas — be the one who brings me near to Vishnu ji.
