śrī viṣṇu śata nāma stotram (viṣṇu purāṇa)

Salutations to Lord Ganesha. Narada speaks: Om, I worship Vāsudeva, Hṛṣīkeśa, Vāmana, the one who lies on water, Janārdana, Hari, Kṛṣṇa, and the one with a beautiful chest, Garuḍadhvaja.

I worship Vārāha, Pundarīkākṣa, Nṛsiṃha, the destroyer of hell, the unmanifest, the eternal Vishnu, the infinite, the unborn, and the imperishable.

I worship Nārāyaṇa, the wielder of the mace, Govinda, the one who is the recipient of fame, the deity who lifted Govardhana, the Lord of the Earth, and the Lord of all beings.

I worship the one who is the knower of sacrifices, the supreme being of sacrifices, the one who carries the sacrificial implements, the wielder of the discus, the wielder of the mace, and the one who holds the conch, the best among men.

I worship Vaikuṇṭha, the one who destroys the wicked, the one who is the essence of the Earth, the one dressed in yellow garments, Trivikrama, the knower of past, present, and future, the Trinity, and Nandikeśvara.

I worship Rāma, Rāma, Hayagrīva, Bhīma, the fierce one, the one who emerges from the ocean of existence, the Lord of wealth, the bearer of prosperity, the auspicious one, and the one who wields auspicious weapons.

I worship Dāmodara, the one bound by love, the one with beautiful hair, the slayer of the Kesi demon, the one who is most excellent, the granter of boons, the Vishnu who brings bliss, and the son of Vasudeva.

I worship Hiraṇyaretas, the resplendent one, the ancient, the supreme person, the all-encompassing, the formless, the pure, the attribute-less, and the one who possesses eternal qualities.

I worship Hiraṇyatanū, the one resembling gold, with a radiance equal to that of thousands of suns, of dark-blue complexion, with four arms, skilled, and with lotus-like eyes.

I worship the one who is the form of light, the formless, the one whose essence is established in forms, the all-knowing, the one who exists in all forms, the Lord of all, and the one with faces in all directions.

I worship the knowledge that is stable and unchanging, the giver of wisdom, the supreme Lord, the master of yogis, the one accomplished in yoga, and the embodiment of yoga for all yogis.

I worship the Lord of all beings, the master of all creation. This divine hundred names is indeed a powerful remedy for sins.

This was narrated by Vyasa in ancient times, as the destroyer of all sins. Whoever recites it upon rising in the morning will indeed become a devotee of Vishnu.

A soul purified from all sins will attain union with Vishnu. One who performs thousands of Chandrayana sacrifices and gives away hundreds of daughters is not as great as he.

A person who recites this will attain the merit of giving away a hundred thousand cows and will share in the benefits of performing ten thousand Ashvamedha sacrifices.
