Summary "Sri Vishnu Sahasranaamam" by Unknown is a revered religious text that serves as a spiritual guide and prayer, likely composed in ancient India during a time when Hindu philosophical texts were proliferating, possibly around the early medieval period. This text is a Sanskrit hymn that enumerates the thousand names of Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities of Hinduism. It is not a narrative work but rather a devotional scripture that reflects on divine attributes and worship. The content of "Sri Vishnu Sahasranaamam" is a comprehensive enumeration of the various names and forms of Lord Vishnu, highlighting his characteristics, powers, and cosmic role as the preserver. The text begins with verses that praise Vishnu and asks philosophical questions regarding divinity and duty. Throughout, it presents an array of names, each revealing different aspects of Vishnu. These names serve both as forms of worship and as a means of meditation, invoking the qualities of Vishnu in the hearts of devotees and illustrating the path to spiritual liberation through devotion and proper conduct. The text culminates in the assertion that reciting these names brings spiritual and worldly benefits, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and devotion to the divine.
