Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. This Vishnu strode, thrice he placed his foot; in the dust of his feet was all firmly established.

Commentary

idam all this universe; vişnuḥ Pervader, the supreme God; vicakrame has strode; he says how he strode; tredhā in three ways, on earth, in mid-region and in the heaven-world; padam nidadhe he placed the foot; what took place by that? asya of Vishnu; pāmsure in the region having the dust of his feet (raḥ denotes possessive sense); samülham firmly established was all this (Past Participle of vaḥ with sam, change of semi-vowel to vowel); tredhā from the word tri, the suffix edhā.
