Vishnu Sahasranamam
Translated by P.R. Ramachander

The Vishnu (/en/Vishnu) Sahasranam is found in the Mahabharatha. Literally translated this means
thousand names of Vishnu (/en/Vishnu). This is found in the Anushasanika Parvam (chapter relating to
orders or rules to the kings) of Mahabharatha.

Bheeshma Pitamaha was defeated and grievously wounded by Arjuna (/en/Arjuna). But since he could
choose the time of his death as per the boons received by him, he chose to die in Uttarayana and was
waiting for the auspicious time. Meanwhile the war was over leading to death of all those male
members in his family except the Pancha Pandavas and the unborn child of Abhimanyu
(/en/Abhimanyu). Yudishtra the eldest of the Pandavas became the King of Hasthinapura and whom
else would he go for advise other than Bheeshma the great. Anushasanika Parva is in the form of
questions and answers between Yudishtra and Bheeshma Pitamaha.To a (/en/A) question as to what is
the best possible stotra (/en/Stotra), Bheeshma answers that it is the Vishnu (/en/Vishnu) Sahasra
Nama and teaches it to Yudishtra.

Though it describes one thousand aspects and praises of the lord, it is not simple and easy to
understand. Many great Acharyas lead by Sankara (/en/Sankara) Bhagavat Pada, felt a (/en/A) need to
give its meaning in crystal clear terms so that the devotee can not only sing but meditate on the aspect
of the God he is praising. But this again was done in Sanskrit (/en/Sanskrit). With the modern civilization
several translations of this stotra (/en/Stotra) is available in English and in almost all major languages
of India.

Though it is called Sahasra Nama in fact it contains only 901 distinct sounding names. Eight hundred
and fteen names are repeated once, Seventy- ve of these names are repeated twice, nine of these
names thrice and two of these names four times. The acharyas have attempted to give di erent
meanings to the same word in di erent places successfully.

In the afterward to the stotra (/en/Stotra) Goddess Parvathi asks Siva the cosmic god for an easy way to
sing this stotra (/en/Stotra) for the learned. He replies that it is su cient that the learned one repeats
the name of Rama (/en/Rama) and this is equivalent to his singing of sahasranama. It is important to
note that this is easy method is prescribed to the very learned who do not have time to recite it daily
and not for everybody,

That God who is the lord of all worlds,
And Him, who presides over the universe,
Would loose without fail,

Of Him who is purest of the pure,
Of That which is holiest of holies,
Of Him who is God among Gods,
Of That father who lives Without death,

Of those names with fame.
Which deal of His qualities great,
And which the sages sing,
So that beings of this wide world,
Become happy and great.
