viṣṇu stutiḥ (kardama ṛṣi kṛtā)

This profound hymn is composed by Sage Kardama in the third canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam. It serves as a beautiful prayer offered to Lord Vishnu after he appears before the sage to grant him a boon. The verses capture the essence of divine surrender, acknowledging the Lord as the ultimate shelter and the bridge across the ocean of worldly existence. Chanting or meditating upon this stuti is believed to foster deep devotion, cleanse the mind of material desires, and grant the devotee spiritual clarity and the grace of the Supreme Lord.
