ଶ୍ରୀ ଵିଷ୍ଣୋର୍ଦିଵ୍ଯସ୍ଥଲ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

Not a praise but a gazetteer, from the hundred and twenty-fifth chapter of the Vishnudharmottara, where Arjuna asks Krishna two questions at once: in which holy places am I to hold you in mind, and by what name in each of them does my praise please you. The answer runs to thirty verses and is almost entirely proper nouns — a place, and the name the Lord bears there, one after another, with no attempt to describe any of them. Sarvayogeshvara where the Sindhu meets the sea; Devadevesha on the Sahya hill; Vaikuntha in the forest of Magadha. Read straight through, it maps a pilgrimage across the length of the country, and its subject is geography where the rest of this cluster's subject is doctrine.
