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.

3 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;

yuddhiira uvca: ki eka daivata loke kim v 'pyeka paryaam | stuvanta ka ka arcanta prpnuyt mnav ubham || 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 dharma sarva dharm bhavata paramo mata | ki japan mucyate jantur janma sasra bandhant || 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.

Uttara Bhga
itda krtanyasya keavasya mahtmana | nmn sahasra divynm aeea prakrtitam || 1 ||
Bhishma said Thus the thousand divine names of Bhagavan Krsna, the Supreme Being who is supremely worthy of being praised, have been chanted in their entirety.

ya ida uuyn nitya yacpi parikrtayet | nubha prpnuyt kicit so 'mutreha ca mnava || 2 ||
Whoever hears or recites these names daily will never accrue any inauspiciousness, either in this world or the world beyond.

vedntago brhmaa syt katriyo vijay bhavet | vaiyo dhana-samddhaya syt dro sukham avpnuyt || 3 ||
From this recitation the Brahmin will obtain knowledge of the Vedanta, a Ksatriya will attain victory, the Vaishya will become wealthy and the Sudra will enjoy immense happiness.

dharmrth prpnuyt dharmam arthrth crtham pnuyt | kmn avpnuyt km prajrth cpnuyt prajm || 4 ||
The chanter who desires merit will obtain it, the desirer of wealth will get riches, the seeker of gratification of the senses will attain all of them, and the seeker of progeny will be successful.

bhaktimn ya sadotthya ucis tad gatamnasa | sahasra vsudevasya nmnm etat prakrtayet || 5 ||
If one who is very devoted to the Lord, rises early in the morning and purifies himself, (with the bath and observance of the daily rituals) then with his mind firmly fixed on Lord Vasudeva, he recites the thousand names of Vasudeva.

yaa prpnoti vipula yti prdhnyam eva ca | acal riyam pnoti reya prpnoty anuttamam || 6 ||
He becomes endowed with great reputation and becomes the foremost amongst his kith and kin. He acquires undiminished wealth in this world, and unexcelled prosperity (in the other world ie. Liberation).

na bhaya kvacid pnoti vrya tejaca vindati | bhavaty rogo dyutimn balarpa gunvita || 7 ||
There is no fear for him from any quarter. He acquires valour and power. He becomes endowed with strength, a healthy body and noble qualities.

rogarto mucyate rogd baddo mucyate bandhant | bhayn mucyeta bhtastu mucyetpanna pada || 8 ||
One who is suffering from any disease will be rid of it. One who is in bondage will be released. One who is afflicted by fear will become courageous. And one who is in difficulties will surmount them.

14

durgny atitar atyu purua puruottamam | stuvan nma sahasrea nitya bhakti samanvita || 9 ||
If a person is exclusively devoted to Sri Krsna and his only desire is to obtain Him, all his difficulties will automatically vanish even though he does not pray for any relief from them.

vsudevrayo martyo vsudeva paryaa | sarva ppa viuddhtm yti brahma santanam || 10 ||
That person who has taken refuge in Vasudeva, and who thinks that Vasudeva is the highest goal to be reached, becomes cleansed of all sins and his mind becomes pure. He finally attains the eternal beatitude.

na vsudeva bhaktnm aubha vidyate kvacit | janma mtyu jar vydhi bhaya naivopajyate || 11 ||
Nothing inauspicious ever occurs to the devotees of Krsna. Nor do they have any fear from birth and death or old age and disease.

That person who chants this Hymn with Zeal and Devotion, becomes blessed with the happiness of the self, forbearance, riches, steadiness of mind, good memory, and great fame.

na krodho na ca mtsarya na lobho nubh mati | bhavanti kta-puyn bhaktn puruottame || 13 ||

There is nothing good which is superior to devotion to Lord Govinda. Neither anger nor jealousy, neither greed nor evil thoughts, haunt the minds of those people who are true devotees of Krsna, and who have acquired merit by virtuous deeds.

dyau sacandrrka nakatra kha dio bhr mahodadhi | vsudevasya vryea vidhatni mahtmana || 14 ||
The firmament, along with the moon, the Sun and the stars, the sky , the directions, earth and the great ocean all, are supported by the power of Vasudeva the Supreme Lord.

sasursura gandharva sayako raga rkasam | jagad vae vartateda kasya sacarcaram || 15 ||

indriyi mano buddhi sattva tejo bala dhti | vsudevtmakn yhu ketra ketraja eva ca || 16 ||
The sense organs, mind, intellect, (the quality of) sattva, power, strength, stability, as well as the body and the individual soul all have Vasudeva as their indweller.

15

sarvgamnm cra prathama parikalpate | cra prabhavo dharmo dharmasya prabhur acyuta || 17 ||
Right conduct has been laid down as the most important of, and the foremost of all the dharmas revealed by the Shastras (the valid and authoritative texts). Right conduct gives rise to dharma, and Bhagavan Krsna is the Lord of all dharma.

aya pitaro dev mahbhtni dhtava | jagam jagama ceda jagan nryaodbhavam || 18 ||
The sages, Pitaras ( departed ancestors), gods, the Great Elements, and their effects, the moving and the non-moving objects which comprise the entire universe all have been projected from Narayana.

ima stava bhagavato vior vysena krtitam | pahedya icchet purua reya prptu sukhni ca || 21 ||
That person who desires to obtain supreme bliss and the pleasures of the world should recite this hymn of the Lord Vishnu sung by the great sage Vyasa.

The Lotus-eyed Lord is the Eternal Supreme Deity, the Ruler of the universe, and the cause of the creation and destruction of the universe. Those who chant his names will never meet with disrespect or discomfiture of any kind. Salutations to that Lord of all Auspiciousness.
