ଚିତ୍ରକॆତୁ ସ୍ତୁତିଃ (ଅନନ୍ତ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରଂ ଭାଗଵତ ପୁରାଣ)

This profound prayer, found in the sixth canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, is offered by the Vidyadhara king Chitraketu to the Supreme Lord Vishnu. It serves as a masterpiece of philosophical insight, where the devotee acknowledges the Lord's absolute sovereignty over the creation, maintenance, and dissolution of the universe. By meditating on the Lord's causeless mercy and His nature as the soul of all souls, the devotee transcends worldly duality. Chanting this stotra is believed to purify the mind, grant liberation from material attachments, and bestow unwavering devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
