“Mangalam Bhagwan Vishnuh, Mangalam Garunadhwajah।

Mangalam Pundari Kakshah, Mangalaya Tano Harih॥”

I Bow down in front of Lord Vishnu, bow down in front of the one who has Garuda as his vehicle. Bow down in front of the one who has eyes like the lotus flowers, Bow down in front of Hari.

Om Shri Vishnave Cha Vidmahe Vasudevaya Dhimahi।

Tanno Vishnu Prachodayat॥

Meaning:
Let me meditate on Lord Vishnu, Oh, Lord Vasudeva, give me better intellect. Let Lord Vishnu illuminate my mind with knowledge and light.

I dedicate this book to Lord Vishnu's lotus feet. I seek his blessings so that I can continue writing this story about his bhakta Kayadhu and Prahlad.
