द्विजकैरवशीतांशुर्द्विपत्तिमिरभास्करः ।
सौजन्यरत्नजलधिर्भुवं विष्णुरिवास्थितः ॥ ३ ॥

dvijakairavaśītāṃśurdvipattimirabhāskaraḥ |
saujanyaratnajaladhirbhuvaṃ viṣṇurivāsthitaḥ || 3 ||

Like the dvija-raja or changeful moon, he gives delight to the dvija—or twice born Brahmans, as that luminary gives the lilies to bloom; and like the luminous sun he destroys the darkness of his gloomy enemies. He is an ocean of the gems of goodness to all, and the support of his realm, like Vishnu the supporter of the world.
