Translation

My dear King, the body of the śiśumāra, as thus described, should be considered the external form of Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Morning, noon and evening, one should silently observe the form of the Lord as the Śiśumāra-cakra and worship Him with this mantra: “O Lord who have assumed the form of time! O resting place of all the planets moving in different orbits! O master of all demigods, O Supreme Person, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You and meditate upon You.”

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Morning, noon and evening, daily, while controlling speech, gazing at form of Viṣṇu composed of all the devatās, one should worship it using this mantra: "I offer my respectful obeisances unto you, the shelter of all planets, the form of time, the master of the devatās, the Supreme Lord. I meditate on you."
