శ్రీ విష్ణు స్తుతిః (విప్ర కృతమ్)

Fourteen verses of salutation, ascribed in the title to a brahmin and otherwise unattributed, made up almost entirely of names in the dative. Lord of the lords of the gods, tender to those devoted to you, heap of compassion, whose stride is joy; to Govinda, to the lord of the gods, to the unfallen and the undecaying, to Krishna, to Vasudeva, to the overseer of everything and its witness; to the highest person, to the pure, to the lotus-navelled, to the shining. Late in the sequence he is saluted as one who takes many forms and is divided in many ways, and the last line drops the third person for a direct address, asking Vishnu, the maker of compassion, to protect the one speaking.
