Текст песни: Matsya: The Fish + перевод

The imminent end of this kalpa

Slipped the Vedas from his sleep

Asura, Hayagriva

By the folly of Brahma he did receive, the Vedas

I fear they will be lost

With the coming of pralaya

This task upon me now

I take the form of Matsya

To a king I am found

To a king I do speak

Protect me from this world

I am but helpless and weak

With hours passing I grow

I beseech you, king, to find me a home

From ponds to lakes and to the sea

My form, no space can hold

Who are you, oh wonderful creature? Surely not of this world

In the matter of a day, the largest lakes you have outgrown

Oh Lord Vishnu can it be true?

Seven days from now

All three worlds will be submerged by the oceans

Which will rise for the dissolution of creation

Build a vessel to hold all life

And the lord of the serpents, Vasuki

Fear not for I will come for you

And bring you salvation

Terror gripped him inside

As the beast that is Matysa approached him

Slaughtered in silence, he perished

Restoring the Vedas to Brahma

Before his slumber is ended

Before the next kalpa

Seven days later clouds gathered over the ocean

The rain poured down in torrents

The ocean, it did begin to rise, swallowing all of earth

Darkening skies, we wait with the hope for our savior

And so he appeared with an illuminated horn of gold

Lighting the way, giving them hope

The serpent king, Vasuki, he became the bridge, the rope

He told them not to fear, no harm shall come to you

As they sailed on through a day of Brahma

Vishnu did impart wisdom, the highest form of truth

A collection of puranic lore, called Matsya Purana

Saving the true devotees from dissolution

Carrying the divine knowledge into the next kalpa
