Oh Lord! Then throwing away all missiles, Thou did penance on the Mahendra mountain. The earth was submerged up to Gokarna in the ocean; so thesages entreated Thee for help. Through Thy power of meditation, Thou acquired bowand arrow and aimed the missile of fire at the ocean; the lord of the ocean shaken by fear, started to withdraw; Thou threw the sacrificial ladle, the Sruva, into the ocean and brought up the land of Kerala, beyond which the waters of the ocean receded. Oh Lord Guruvayurappa ! May Thou of such wonderful exploits, protect me.
