Narayaniyam Trimsadasakam Meaning:

Bali who was killed by Indra, in the battle after churning for nectar,
Was brought back to life by Sage Shukra and with that body,
Did several fire sacrifices and thereby became very powerful,
And became not even afraid of the holy wheel of yours,
Conquered all the three worlds, from which the devas had run away. ॥ 30.1 ॥

Adithi, the mother of devas unable to see the suffering of her sons,
Went and requested her husband, sage Kasyapa to do something,
And according to his advice worshipped you adopting Payovrutha*,
And with great devotion worshipped you for twelve days. ॥ 30.2 ॥
*A famous penance to get children

When the worship was completed, you appeared before her,
Who has completely immersed herself in your devotion,
In the form with dark blue colour and with four hands,
And you told her, who fell down at your feet in salutation,
“I am going to be born as your son, but keep my appearance as a secret”,
And then you vanished from there. ॥ 30.3 ॥

Later you entered the seed of sage Kashyapa who was doing penance,
And thus entered the womb of Adithi, making Brahma praise you,
And Adithi gave birth to a divine child, who had Vaishnavite signs,
On the auspicious Sravana Dwadasi day. ॥ 30.4 ॥

The joyous devas played very many auspicious drums,
And rained flowers on the holy blessed hermitage,
Saluted you and heralded your victory,
And you were also prayed by your own parents,
And you instantly adopted the form of a young Brahmachari*. ॥ 30.5 ॥
*The one who studies Vedas after sacred thread ceremony.

Hey God, then you were given sacred thread by sage Kasyapa,
And were given mounji grass, a stick of palasa, deerskin, chain of beads etc,
And adorned by these and shining with divine light,
You performed the worship to fire and started to the place,
Where Mahabali was doing the Aswamedha sacrifice. ॥ 30.6 ॥

With a form foretelling the great events that are unfolding,
With a walk creating tremors on the earth,
With an umbrella, possibly to prevent the heat of enemies,
And with a stick possibly to punish the asuras, you proceeded. ॥ 30.7 ॥

When you approached the place of the horse-sacrifice,
Situated in the northern bank of Narmada,
Blinded by the power light of yours, Shukra and others,
Wonder whether you are Sun or fire or sage Sanathkumara. ॥ 30.8 ॥

Becoming slaves to your dazzling light, Sage Shukra,
And others received you who was extremely handsome,
And that blessed Asura with hairs standing erect all over his body,
And with great devotion washed your divine feet,
And sprinkled that water capable of cleaning,
All waters in the earth, on his head. ॥ 30.9 ॥

Though an asura, Mahabali was able to sprinkle that water on his head,
Which water is being sprinkled by Lord Shiva himself on his head,
Possibly because he was born in the clan of Prahlada,
Or possibly because he had carried out very many fire sacrifices,
Or possibly because he had great faith in Brahmin s,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur, please be kind enough to protect me. ॥ 30.10 ॥
