Vishnu Sahasranama lyrics and translation

Introduction

The Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram—the sacred hymn of the Thousand Divine Names of Lord Vishnu—stands as one of the most revered and spiritually potent jewels of Sanatana Dharma. Bestowed upon the world in the Anushasana Parvaof the Mahabharata, this divine stotra was delivered by the grandsire Bhishma while resting upon the bed of arrows (shara-shayya) on the sacred field of Kurukshetra. In the presence of Lord Sri Krishna, Maharaja Yudhishthira, burdened by the anguish of the great war and seeking the ultimate spiritual refuge for humanity, posed six profound questions regarding the supreme goal of human life, the highest deity, and the path to liberation from the repeated cycle of birth and death. In answer, Bhishma declared that the perpetual, loving contemplation, worship, and glorification of the Thousand Names of Sri Hari constitutes the paramount dharma (sarva-dharmanam dharmo'dhikatamo matah).

Within this comprehensive study, devotees and seekers will find the complete preliminary invocations (Prarthana), the historical dialogue between Yudhishthira and Bhishma (Purvabhaga), the traditional meditative preparations (Purvanyasaand Dhyanam), the complete 108 principal stotra verses celebrating the thousand transcendental names, and the concluding benedictory verses (Phalashruti). This exposition invites the reader to immerse their heart in the purifying, all-auspicious grace of the Supreme Lord Narayana.

Verses:

शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम् । प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सर्वविघ्नोपशान्तये ॥ १ ॥

śuklāmbaradharaṃ viṣṇuṃ śaśivarṇaṃ caturbhujam, prasannavadanaṃ dhyāyet sarvavighnōpaśāntaye. (1)

Fix your loving gaze upon our dazzling Lord Hari! Radiant like the cooling full moon and adorned in spotless white garments, His four graceful arms embrace the cosmos, and His ever-smiling, serene face melts away all obstacles on our path of devotional surrender.

यस्य द्विरदवक्त्राद्याः पारिषद्याः परः शतम् । विघ्नं निघ्नन्ति सततं विष्वक्सेनं तमाश्रये ॥ २ ॥

yasya dviradavaktrādyāḥ pāriṣadyāḥ paraḥ śatam, vighnaṃ nighnanti satataṃ viṣvakṣenaṃ tam āśraye. (2)

With a heart of pure surrender, I take shelter in Viṣvaksena, Hari's mighty commander. Alongside his fearless elephant-faced chief and hundreds of celestial attendants, he unceasingly clears away every obstacle blocking our awakening in Hari Consciousness.

व्यासं वसिष्ठनप्तारं शक्तेः पौत्रमकल्मषम् । पराशरात्मजं वन्दे शुकतातं तपोनिधिम् ॥ ३ ॥

vyāsaṃ vasiṣṭhanaptāraṃ śakteḥ pautramakalmaṣam, parāśarātmajaṃ vande śukatātaṃ taponidhim. (3)

I bow with deep reverence to Sage Vyāsa—the great-grandson of Vasiṣṭha, grandson of Śakti, spotless son of Parāśara, and father of Śukadeva. He is an inexhaustible ocean of spiritual tapasya who opened the floodgates of Hari's pastimes and holy names for the redemption of all humanity.

व्यासाय विष्णुरूपाय व्यासरूपाय विष्णवे । नमो वै ब्रह्मनिधये वासिष्ठाय नमो नमः ॥ ४ ॥

vyāsāya viṣṇurūpāya vyāsarūpāya viṣṇave, namo vai brahmanidhaye vāsiṣṭhāya namo namaḥ. (4)

Again and again I prostrate before Vyāsa, who is non-different from Lord Hari Himself, and before Hari who speaks to us in the form of Vyāsa. Repeated prostrations unto this venerable treasure of Brahman who guides every searching soul straight to the lotus feet of Hari.

अविकाराय शुद्धाय नित्याय परमात्मने । सदैकरूपरूपाय विष्णवे सर्वजिष्णवे ॥ ५ ॥

avikārāya śuddhāya nityāya paramātmane, sadaikarūparūpāya viṣṇave sarvajiṣṇave. (5)

I surrender completely to Lord Hari—the immutable, immaculate, and eternal Supreme Self (Paramātmā). While the material cosmos constantly shifts, my sweet Hari remains ever steadfast in His loving divine form, eternally triumphant over every illusion of māyā.

यस्य स्मरणमात्रेण जन्मसंसारबन्धनात् । विमुच्यते नमस्तस्मै विष्णवे प्रभविष्णवे ॥ ६ ॥

yasya smaraṇamātreṇa janmasaṃsārabandhanāt, vimucyate namas tasmai viṣṇave prabhaviṣṇave. (6)

All glories to the all-powerful Lord Hari! The very moment a wandering soul simply remembers His sweet name with love, the heavy chains of birth, death, and worldly entrapment snap instantly, ushering the heart into eternal spiritual freedom.

श्रीवैशम्पायन उवाच – श्रुत्वा धर्मानशेषेण पावनानि च सर्वशः । युधिष्ठिरः शान्तनवं पुनरेवाभ्यभाषत ॥ ७ ॥

śrī vaiśampāyana uvāca – śrutvā dharmānaśeṣeṇa pāvanāni ca sarvaśaḥ, yudhiṣṭhiraḥ śāntanavaṃ punarevābhyabhāṣata. (7)

Śrī Vaiśampāyana said: Having absorbed all purifying principles of Dharma, the righteous King Yudhiṣṭhira, thirsting for the ultimate nectar of spiritual realization, approached Grandfather Bhīṣma with earnest devotional inquiry.

युधिष्ठिर उवाच – किमेकं दैवतं लोके किं वाप्येकं परायणम् । स्तुवन्तः कं कमर्चन्तः प्राप्नुयुर्मानवाः शुभम् ॥ ८ ॥

śrī yudhiṣṭhira uvāca – kim ekaṃ daivataṃ loke kiṃ vāpy ekaṃ parāyaṇam, stuvantaḥ kaṃ kam arcantaḥ prāpnuyur mānavāḥ śubham. (8)

Yudhiṣṭhira asked: Who is the singular supreme Divinity across all realms? What is the sole ultimate refuge for our longing hearts? By extolling and adoring whom do human beings attain the highest auspiciousness and eternal good?

को धर्मः सर्वधर्माणां भवतः परमो मतः । किं जपन्मुच्यते जन्तुर्जन्मसंसारबन्धनात् ॥ ९ ॥

ko dharmaḥ sarvadharmāṇāṃ bhavataḥ paramo mataḥ, kiṃ japan mucyate jantur janmasaṃsārabandhanāt. (9)

Among all spiritual duties, which Dharma do you crown as supreme? By constantly chanting what sacred utterance does an embodied soul break free forever from the painful bondage of birth, death, and transmigration?

भीष्म उवाच – जगत्प्रभुं देवदेवमनन्तं पुरुषोत्तमम् । स्तुवन्नामसहस्रेण पुरुषः सततोत्थितः ॥ १० ॥

śrī bhīṣma uvāca – jagatprabhuṃ devadevamanantaṃ puruṣottamam, stuvan nāmasahasreṇa puruṣaḥ satatotthitaḥ. (10)

Grandfather Bhīṣma replied: By constantly glorifying the Sovereign of the universe, the God of all gods, the boundless Puruṣottama, through His thousand holy names, a soul is permanently lifted out of material darkness and established in the highest state of Hari Consciousness.

तमेव चार्चयन्नित्यं भक्त्या पुरुषमव्ययम् । ध्यायन् स्तुवन्नमस्यंश्च यजमानस्तमेव च ॥ ११ ॥

tam eva cārcayan nityaṃ bhaktyā puruṣam avyayam, dhyāyan stuvan namasyaṃś ca yajamānas tam eva ca. (11)

Pour your heart solely into loving worship of this imperishable Supreme Person! By meditating upon Him, extolling Him, bowing before Him in humility, and dedicating every action as a sacrifice of love unto Him alone, the seeker is perpetually uplifted into divine joy.

अनादिनिधनं विष्णुं सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् । लोकाध्यक्षं स्तुवन्नित्यं सर्वदुःखातिगो भवेत् ॥ १२ ॥

anādinidhanaṃ viṣṇuṃ sarvalokamaheśvaram, lokādhyakṣaṃ stuvan nityaṃ sarvaduḥkhātigo bhavet. (12)

By ceaselessly praising Lord Hari—who is without beginning or end, the loving Ruler of all cosmic realms, and the ever-watchful guardian of the worlds—one completely transcends all anxieties, lamentation, and material sorrow.

ब्रह्मण्यं सर्वधर्मज्ञं लोकानां कीर्तिवर्धनम् । लोकनाथं महद्भूतं सर्वभूतभवोद्भवम् ॥ १३ ॥

brahmaṇyaṃ sarvadharmajñaṃ lokānāṃ kīrtivardhanam, lokanāthaṃ mahadbhūtaṃ sarvabhūtabhavodbhavam. (13)

He is the true friend of all spiritual seekers, the profound knower of all Dharma, the enhancer of renown throughout the worlds, the universal Protector, the Supreme Being, and the primordial source from whom every living soul manifests.

एष मे सर्वधर्माणां धर्मोऽधिकतमो मतः । यद्भक्त्या पुण्डरीकाक्षं स्तवैरर्चेन्नरः सदा ॥ १४ ॥

eṣa me sarvadharmāṇāṃ dharmo dhikatamo mataḥ, yad bhaktyā puṇḍarīkākṣaṃ stavair arcen naraḥ sadā. (14)

In my firm conviction, this is the crest-jewel of all Dharmas: that an individual should constantly offer devoted love (bhakti) and heartfelt hymns of praise unto our lotus-eyed Lord Hari at every step of life.

परमं यो महत्तेजः परमं यो महत्तपः । परमं यो महद्ब्रह्म परमं यः परायणम् ॥ १५ ॥

paramaṃ yo mahattejāḥ paramaṃ yo mahattapaḥ, paramaṃ yo mahadbrahma paramaṃ yaḥ parāyaṇam. (15)

He is the supreme radiant light illuminating all worlds; He is the highest spiritual power and austerity; He is the transcendent, boundless Brahman; and He is the ultimate, sweet home toward which every living being is journeying.

पवित्राणां पवित्रं यो मङ्गलानां च मङ्गलम् । दैवतं दैवतानां च भूतानां योऽव्ययः पिता ॥ १६ ॥

pavitrāṇāṃ pavitraṃ yo maṅgalānāṃ ca maṅgalam, daivataṃ daivatānāṃ ca bhūtānāṃ yo 'vyayaḥ pitā. (16)

He is the purest of all sanctifying principles, the supreme wellspring of all blessings, the Lord presiding over all celestial deities, and the imperishable, ever-loving Father of every living entity.

यतः सर्वाणि भूतानि भवन्त्यादियुगागमे । यस्मिंश्च प्रलयं यान्ति पुनरेव युगक्षये ॥ १७ ॥

yataḥ sarvāणि bhūtāni bhavanty ādiyugāgame, yasmiṃś ca pralayaṃ yānti punar eva yugakṣaye. (17)

At the cosmic dawn, all living souls emerge from His divine will like loving sparks from a fire, and at the close of the universal age, they rest safely back within His bosom until the dawn of the next cosmic day.

तस्य लोकप्रधानस्य जगन्नाथस्य भूपते । विष्णोर्नामसहस्रं मे श्रृणु पापभयापहम् ॥ १८ ॥

tasya lokapradhānasya jagannāthasya bhūpate, viṣṇor nāmasahasraṃ me śṛṇu pāpabhayāpaham. (18)

Therefore, O King, listen with an open, receptive heart to these thousand transcendental names of the Master of the universe, Lord Hari—names that instantly wash away all fear, karmic guilt, and suffering.

यानि नामानि गौणानि विख्यातानि महात्मनः । ऋषिभिः परिगीतानि तानि वक्ष्यामि भूतये ॥ १९ ॥

yāni nāmāni gauṇāni vikhyātāni mahātmanaḥ, ṛṣibhiḥ parigītāni tāni vakṣyāmi bhūtaye. (19)

I shall now declare for the spiritual awakening and welfare of all humanity those celebrated names of the Great Soul, which sing of His boundless divine qualities and have been lovingly revealed by illumined Ṛṣis.

ऋषिर्नाम्नां सहस्रस्य वेदव्यासो महामुनिः । छन्दोऽनुष्टुप् तथा देवो भगवान् देवकीसुतः ॥ २० ॥

ṛṣirnāmnāṃ sahasrasya vedavyāsō mahāmuniḥ, chandōnuṣṭup tathā devō bhagavān devakīsutaḥ. (20)

The revelatory seer of these thousand holy names is the venerable sage Vedavyāsa; the poetic meter is Anuṣṭup; and the beloved presiding Deity of our hearts is the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the darling son of Devakī.

अमृतांशूद्भवो बीजं शक्तिर्देवकिनन्दनः । त्रिसामा हृदयं तस्य शान्त्यर्थे विनियुज्यते ॥ २१ ॥

amṛtāṃśūdbhavo bījaṃ śaktir devakinandanaḥ, trisāmā hṛdayaṃ tasya śāntyarthe viniyujyate. (21)

The seed-syllable is 'Amṛtāṃśūdbhava' (He who brought forth the nectar-bearing moon); the kinetic spiritual power is 'Devakīnandana'; 'Trisāmā' is the pulsating heart; and this recitation is chanted to awaken unbroken spiritual peace and love in our consciousness.

विष्णुं जिष्णुं महाविष्णुं प्रभविष्णुं महेश्वरम् । अनेकरूप दैत्यान्तं नमामि पुरुषोत्तमम् ॥ २२ ॥

viṣṇuṃ jiṣṇuṃ mahāविष्णुं prabhaviṣṇuṃ maheśvaram, anekarūpa daityāntaṃ namāmi puruṣottamam. (22)

I prostrate with ecstatic love before Lord Hari—the all-pervading, the ever-victorious, the Great Supreme Lord, the omnipotent Creator, who manifests in manifold enchanting forms to vanquish darkness and defend His devotees as the Supreme Person.

Upon the glistening sands of the Milk Ocean, gleaming with pure gems and seated upon a throne of pearls, rests our blissful Mukunda. Beneath radiant clouds showering down sweet nectar, holding the lotus, mace, conch, and discus in His divine hands, may He purify our consciousness and flood our souls with supreme spiritual bliss.

I gaze with awe at Lord Hari’s universal form! The earth is His lotus feet, the sky His navel, the vital air His breath, the sun and moon His luminous eyes, the directions His ears, heaven His crown, sacred fire His speech, and the great oceans His garments. Within His cosmic body all creatures live and rejoice. I bow to this wondrous Lord of the three worlds!

I venerate Lord Hari—the embodiment of transcendental peace, reclining gracefully upon the serpent couch, from whose navel blossoms the cosmic lotus. All-pervading like the open sky, tinted like a dark raincloud, endowed with graceful limbs, the beloved consort of Lakṣmī, with captivating lotus eyes, He dispels all fear of worldly transmigration and stands as the sole, loving Master of all creation.

मेघश्यामं पीतकौशेयवासं श्रीवत्साङ्कं कौस्तुभोद्भासिताङ्गम् । पुण्योपेतं पुण्डरीकायताक्षं विष्णुं वन्दे सर्वलोकैकनाथम् ॥ २६ ॥

I bow with deep affection to Lord Hari, radiant with the dark beauty of a fresh monsoon cloud, draped in shining golden silk (pītāmbara). Bearing the auspicious Śrīvatsa mark and the glowing Kaustubha gem upon His chest, endowed with supreme sanctity and large lotus eyes, He reigns as the sweet Sovereign of all existence.
