Vishnu Pratah Smarana Stotram

The Vishnu Pratah Smarana Stotram is a beautiful morning hymn, meant to be recited immediately upon awakening. It invokes Lord Vishnu as the Supreme Being, the source of creation, the remover of sorrow, and the embodiment of peace.
The first verse describes the Lord resting upon Adishesha, adored by gods, humans, and sages alike. His lotus feet are praised by the Vedas and Agamas, and He stands as the eternal treasure of the universe—the light of all consciousness.

The second verse praises Vishnu as the one who helps the devotee cross the ocean of worldly existence. Offerings made by sages and siddhas reach Him directly. He destroys the pride of demons and grants protection and prosperity. With Lakshmi, the daughter of the ocean, He radiates limitless beauty.

The third verse praises His lotus feet glowing with the radiance of the autumn sky. His feet are the ultimate refuge for all beings seeking liberation, and His many incarnations removed the burden of the Earth. He grants peace, dissolves suffering, and uplifts the devotee into clarity and devotion.

The final promise states that whoever chants these sacred three verses early in the morning becomes free from all sins.
