Sri Vishnu Stuti (Narasimha Purane)

This hymn from the Narasimha Purana is a divine praise recited by Lord Brahma in honor of Lord Vishnu. It beautifully describes the Lord’s serene form, cosmic functions, and protective nature. Brahma first salutes Vishnu who reclines upon the serpent Adishesha in the ocean of milk, whose divine feet touch the waves, and whose presence sanctifies the universe. He is the Lord of yogic slumber, the inner consciousness sustaining the worlds, and the Govinda who rides upon Garuda.

Vishnu, the wielder of the Sharnga bow, responds instantly to protect the world when the ocean churns or when devotees call. His lotus-like feet, his Padmanabha form, and his enchanting presence are praised as sources of purity and blessing. Madhava is described as auspicious, radiant, graceful in form, with beautiful eyes, charming face, and shining limbs that bless devotees with peace.

Every limb of Vishnu is described as divine: his chest, his navel from which the cosmic lotus emerges, his brows, his limbs, his teeth, his thighs—all radiating beauty. As Kesava, he is the embodiment of wisdom; as the bearer of the mace, he grants strength and protection. Dharma’s protector, Vamana’s form, the fierce destroyer of demons, and the remover of cosmic distress are all glorified.

He is the Lord who destroyed Ravana, rescued the gods from suffering, removed evil forces, and restored cosmic balance. The hymn concludes with reverence toward this universal protector who destroys demonic forces and establishes dharma in every age.

This stuti celebrates Vishnu’s grace, beauty, protection, incarnations, and divine cosmic presence, making it a powerful prayer for all devotees.
