Complete Shree Vishnu Stuti Lyrics (in Sanskrit)

श्री विष्णु स्तुति

शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम्।

प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सर्वविघ्नोपशान्तये॥

शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं,

विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम्।

लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यम्,

वन्दे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम्॥

औषधे चिंतये विष्णुम भोजने च जनार्दनम,

शयने पद्मनाभं च विवाहे च प्रजापतिम,

युद्धे चक्रधरम देवं प्रवासे च त्रिविक्रमं,

नारायणं तनु त्यागे श्रीधरं प्रिय संगमे,

दुःस्वप्ने स्मर गोविन्दम संकटे मधुसूधनम,

कानने नारसिंहम च पावके जलाशयिनाम्,

जलमध्ये वराहम च पर्वते रघु नन्दनं,

गमने वामनं चैव सर्व कार्येशु माधवं।

षोडशैतानी नामानी प्रातरुत्थाय यह पठेत,

सर्वपापा विनिर्मुक्तो विष्णुलोके महीयते॥

• Shloka: शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम्। प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सर्वविघ्नोपशान्तये॥

• Meaning: Meditate upon Lord Vishnu, who wears white robes, has a moon-like radiant complex, possesses four arms, and carries a calm, pleasant countenance, to remove all obstacles.

2. Dhyana Shloka (Meditation on the Divine Form)

• Shloka: शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं... वन्दे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम्॥

• Meaning: I bow to Lord Vishnu, the embodiment of peace, who rests on the cosmic serpent (Adishesha), from whose navel sprouts a lotus, and who is the Lord of all Gods. He supports the entire universe, is vast like the sky, dark-complexioned like clouds, and possesses auspicious limbs. The beloved of Goddess Lakshmi, the lotus-eyed Lord accessible through yogic meditation, destroys all fears of worldly existence and rules over all the worlds.
