śuklam baradharam visnum śaśi varnam catur bhujam ।
prasanna vadanam dhyayet sarva vighnopa śantaye ॥ 1 ॥
One should meditate for the removal of all obstacles upon Vishnu who is clad in white garments,
who has a lustre like the moon, who has four arms and a beneficent face.
yasya dviradha vaktradya parisadya paraśatam ।
vighnam nighnanti satatam viśvaksenam tamaśraye ॥ 2 ॥
I take refuge in Vishvaksena who always eliminates all hindrances,
The commander of the elephant-faced attendants and the numerous others.
vyasam vasista naptaram śakteḥ pautram akalmasam ।
paraśara atmajam vande śukatatam tapo nidhim ॥ 3 ॥
Vyasa is the great grandson of Vasishta and the grandson of Shakti. He is the son of Parasara
and the father of Suka. I offer my obeisance to the Vyasa who is free from all defects and is a
repository of austerities.
vyasaya visnu rūpaya vyasa-rūpaya visnave ।
namo vai brahma-nidhaye vasistaya namo namaḥ ॥ 4 ॥

Vyasa — sage Vyasa who is a descendant of Vasistha and who is a treasure of Knowledge of
Brahman.
avikaraya śudhaya nityaya paramatmane ।
sadaika rūpa rūpaya visnave sarva jisnave ॥ 5 ॥
I offer my obeisance to Vishnu, Who is devoid of all mutations, Who is by nature pure and
eternal, Who is endowed with a form which is uniform at all times and Who is the victor over all.
yasya smarana matrena janma samsara bandhanat ।
vimucyate namas tasmai visnave prabha visnave ॥ 6 ॥
My salutations to that Supreme Being Vishnu, by a mere though of Whose name all persons are
freed from the bonds of Samsara. Salutations to the omnipotent Being Who is signified by the
Pranava.
śrī vaiśampayana uvaca:
śrutva dharman aśesena pavanani ca sarvaśaḥ ।
yuddhistiraḥ śantanavam punar-eva abhyabhasita ॥ 7 ॥
Sri Vaishampayana said — Having heard all the Dharmas in their entirety (without anything
having been left out) and having learnt about all purificatory acts, Yudhisthira again addressed
Bhishma as follows;
yuddhistira uvaca:
kiṁ ekam daivatam loke kim va ‘pyekam parayanam ।
stuvantaḥ kam kam arcantaḥ prapnuyat manavaḥ śubham ॥ 8 ॥
Yudhisthira said:— Who is the One Supreme Being which the Scriptures declare? What is the
one Supreme Goal which should be sought ? By the recitation of what mantra is a person
released from the bonds of repeated birth and death? Which in your opinion is the highest form
of religion?
ko dharmaḥ sarva dharmanam bhavataḥ paramo mataḥ ।
kim japan mucyate jantur janma samsara bandhanat ॥ 9 ॥
What spiritual path is that, which according to thy judgment is the foremost of all paths ? What
are those mantras by reciting which a being becomes freed from the bonds of birth and death.
śrī bhīsma uvaca:
jagat prabhum deva-devam anantam purusottamam ।
stuvan nama sahasrena purusaḥ satatotthitaḥ ॥ 10 ॥
Bhishma said:— A person who is always engaged in praising with the hymn of a Thousand
Names; the Lord of the Universe, the God of gods, and the limitless Supreme Being,

And engaged in worshipping Him with devotion, meditating upon Him, glorifying Him, offering
obeisance and adoring Him,
anadi nidhanam visnum sarva-loka-maheś
varam ।

one who is ever engaged in praising the Lord who is without beginning and end, the Allpervading-One,
the Ruler of the Universe, the Supervisor of the worlds, the One Who is to be
known from the Vedas, Who is Himself the Knower of all Dharmas, the One Who is constantly
engaged in the Universal Welfare, Lord of the Universe, and the Cause of all beings — such a
devotee transcends over all the sorrows of this material world.

Verily He is champion of the devotees, conversant with all duties and injunctions, the enhancer
of fame and achievement of all people, the master of all the universe, exceedingly wonderful, and

From Whom all beings originate in the beginning of the first Yuga and in Whom they merge
again at the end of the Yuga.
tasya loka pradhanasya jagan-nathasya bhūpate ।
visnor nama sahasram me śrnu papa bhayavaham ॥ 18 ॥
O King! Hear from me the Thousand Names which remove sins and drive away fear. The
