Rajan, listen to me carefully, I shall

Lord Indra. Sage Vishwaroopa after
performing ablations, conducted the recitation of the hymns of Anganyas and Karanyasa/reciting the hymns with
gestures and touching the body parts which could purify the limbs and bring
positive energy into the body. He
contemplated upon supreme Lord Vishnu, who is beyond perception and all-pervading,
he has infinite forms and names, he recited the Beeja Manthra. Sage Vishwaroopa envisioned the glorious form
of Lord Vishnu who is mounted on the celestial bird Garuda; he holds mace, sword,
conch, disc, protective shield, in eight hands.
