I take refuge in Vishvaksena, whose attendants, led by the elephant-faced Ganesha and numbering more than a hundred, constantly destroy all obstacles.

Salutations to that Vishnu, the all-powerful Lord, by mere remembrance of whom one is liberated from the bondage of the cycle of birth and worldly existence.

Shri Vaishampayana said: Having heard all duties (dharmas) in their entirety and all purifying practices from every perspective, Yudhishthira once again addressed the son of Shantanu (Bhishma).

स्तुवन्तः कं कमर्चन्तः प्राप्नुयुर्मानवाः शुभम् ॥ ८॥
Yudhishthira said: Who is the one supreme deity in the world? What is the sole supreme refuge? By praising whom and by worshipping whom do human beings attain auspiciousness and welfare?

किं जपन्मुच्यते जन्तुर्जन्मसंसारबन्धनात् ॥ ९॥
Which dharma (duty) among all dharmas is, in your opinion, the supreme one? By chanting whose name or mantra does a living being get liberated from the bondage of the cycle of birth and worldly existence?
भीष्म उवाच---
जगत्प्रभुं देवदेवमनन्तं पुरुषोत्तमम् ।
स्तुवन् नामसहस्रेण पुरुषः सततोत्थितः ॥ १०॥
Bhishma said: A person, being ever-alert and active, should praise the Lord of the universe, the God of gods, the infinite, the Supreme Purusha (Purushottama), by chanting His thousand names.
तमेव चार्चयन्नित्यं भक्त्या पुरुषमव्ययम् ।
ध्यायन् स्तुवन् नमस्यंश्च यजमानस्तमेव च ॥ ११॥
And by always worshipping with devotion that same imperishable Purusha, meditating upon Him, praising Him, bowing down to Him, and performing worship unto Him alone.
अनादिनिधनं विष्णुं सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् ।
लोकाध्यक्षं स्तुवन्नित्यं सर्वदुःखातिगो भवेत् ॥ १२॥
By constantly praising Lord Vishnu, who is without beginning or end, the Supreme Lord of all the worlds, and the overseer of the universe, one transcends all sorrows.
ब्रह्मण्यं सर्वधर्मज्ञं लोकानां कीर्तिवर्धनम् ।
लोकनाथं महद्भूतं सर्वभूतभवोद्भवम् ॥ १३॥
He who is the patron of spiritual knowledge and seekers, the knower of all righteousness, the enhancer of the glory of the worlds, the Lord of the universe, the Great Being, and the ultimate source of the origin and existence of all living beings.
एष मे सर्वधर्माणां धर्मोऽधिकतमो मतः ।
यद्भक्त्या पुण्डरीकाक्षं स्तवैरर्चेन्नरः सदा ॥ १४॥
This I consider to be the supreme duty among all duties: that a person should always, with devotion, worship the lotus-eyed Lord (Vishnu) by chanting His praises.
परमं यो महत्तेजः परमं यो महत्तपः ।
परमं यो महद्ब्रह्म परमं यः परायणम् ॥ १५॥
He who is the supreme, great effulgence; He who is the supreme, great penance; He who is the supreme, great Brahman; He who is the supreme, ultimate refuge.

He who is the most pure of all pure things, the most auspicious of all auspicious things, the God of gods, and the imperishable father of all beings.
यतः सर्वाणि भूतानि भवन्त्यादियुगागमे ।

विष्णोर्नामसहस्रं मे शृणु पापभयापहम् ॥ १८॥
Listen to the thousand names of that foremost Lord of the world, the master of the universe, Vishnu, which destroy all sins and fears, O King.
