Protector of the fallen, Your praises shall fill the world, if you take up the cause of your suppliants. We have learnt in our own dealings how true is the praise the Puranas give Thee. You cannot bear to see your servants weak, therefore you stand upright before us, with disc and mace and weapons innumerable in your hands; where you see aught needed you run to supply it. Tuka says, It was our faith that brought about Your full incarnation.
