Shuklambaradharam vishnum shashivarnam chaturbhujam Prasannavadanam dhyayet sarvavighnopashantaye

I meditate upon Lord Vishnu — clad in white, all-pervading, moon-hued, four-armed and ever serene of face — for the stilling of all obstacles.

Yudhishthira asked Bhishma: Who is the one God of the universe? What is the one supreme refuge? By praising and worshipping whom do human beings attain well-being? Which, in your view, is the greatest of all dharmas? By chanting what is a being freed from the bondage of birth and rebirth?

Bhishma replied: One who, ever-vigilant, praises the Lord of the universe — the God of gods, the infinite Purushottama — with the thousand names, crosses beyond all sorrow. This, in my view, is the highest of all dharmas: that a person should always, with devotion, worship the lotus-eyed Lord with hymns of praise.

अर्जुन उवाच — पद्मपत्रविशालाक्ष पद्मनाभ सुरोत्तम । भक्तानामनुरक्तानां त्राता भव जनार्दन ॥ श्रीभगवानुवाच — यो मां नामसहस्रेण स्तोतुमिच्छति पाण्डव । सोऽहमेकेन श्लोकेन स्तुत एव न संशयः ॥

Arjuna said: O lotus-petal-eyed, lotus-naveled, best of gods — become the protector of your loving devotees, O Janardana. The Blessed Lord replied: O Pandava, whoever wishes to praise Me with the thousand names — by even a single verse of it I am truly praised; of this there is no doubt.

पार्वत्युवाच — केनोपायेन लघुना विष्णोर्नामसहस्रकम् । पठ्यते पण्डितैर्नित्यं श्रोतुमिच्छाम्यहं प्रभो ॥ ईश्वर उवाच — श्रीराम राम रामेति रमे रामे मनोरमे । सहस्रनाम तत्तुल्यं रामनाम वरानने ॥

Parvati asked: O Lord, by what easy means do the wise recite Vishnu's thousand names daily? I wish to hear it. Lord Shiva answered: 'Sri Rama, Rama, Rama' — I delight in the delightful Rama. O fair-faced one, the name of Rama is equal to all the thousand names.

ब्रह्मोवाच — नमोऽस्त्वनन्ताय सहस्रमूर्तये सहस्रपादाक्षिशिरोरुबाहवे । सहस्रनाम्ने पुरुषाय शाश्वते सहस्रकोटियुगधारिणे नमः ॥

Brahma said: Salutations to the Infinite One of a thousand forms — of a thousand feet, eyes, heads and arms; to the eternal Purusha of a thousand names, the sustainer of a thousand-crore ages — salutations.

Sanjaya uvacha — Yatra yogeshvarah krishno yatra partho dhanurdharah Tatra shrirvijayo bhutirdhruva nitirmatirmama

Sanjaya said: Wherever there is Krishna, the Lord of Yoga, and wherever there is Arjuna the archer — there are fortune, victory, prosperity and unfailing righteousness: such is my conviction.

Thus concludes the divine Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram. Om Tat Sat.
