Verse 3

सर्गस्थितिप्रलयहेतुमचिन्त्यशक्तिं विश्वेश्वरं विदितविश्वमनन्तमूर्तिम् ।निर्मुक्तबन्धनमपारसुखाम्बुराशिं श्रीवल्लभं विमलबोधघनं नमामि ॥ १ ॥

In plain words

The one from whom the world arises, in whom it stands, into whom it dissolves; whose power no thought can reach; the Lord of everything there is; to whom the whole universe lies open; whose forms have no end; who was never bound; an ocean of joy with no far shore; the beloved of Śrī; awareness, spotless and solid, with no gap anywhere in it — to him I bow.

Close to the Sanskrit

The cause of creation, continuance, and dissolution; of inconceivable power; the Lord of the universe; the one to whom the whole universe is known; of endless form; freed from all bondage; a shoreless ocean of bliss; the beloved of Śrī; a dense mass of stainless awareness — I bow.
