Verse 5

⁵You take a body up to quiet the wicked, mighty one, and to make those who keep to your word flourish. As your other descents were, the boar and the rest, so is this one too, for the finding of the road to the self. ⁶Even the man who eats dogs, by hearing his name and calling it out after, by bowing to him, by remembering him even once, becomes fit that very moment to press the soma. How much more so, Bhagavan, from the sight of you. ⁷How astonishing. The dog-eater on whose tongue-tip your name sits is the weightier of the two. Those who call your name out have done the austerities, made the offerings, bathed at the fords; they are the noble; they have recited the Veda.

⁸I salute you, Brahman beyond, the Person, to be brought fully to mind in the self whose stream has been turned inward, in whom the flowing of the strands is put out by his own light: Visnu, Kapila, in whose womb the Veda lies.
