Devanagari:
मेघश्यामं पीतकौशेयवासं
श्रीवत्साङ्कं कौस्तुभोद्भासिताङ्गम्

Meghashyamam Pitakausheyavasam
Shrivatsankam Kaustubhodbhasitangam
Punyopetam Pundarikayataksham
Vishnum Vande Sarvalokaikanatham
Translation:
Dark-blue like a rain cloud and clad in radiant yellow silk,
Marked with the auspicious Shrivatsa and illuminated by the Kaustubha gem,
Surrounded by the virtuous and possessing large lotus-petal eyes,
I bow to Lord Vishnu, the sole refuge and Lord of all the worlds.
