Sree Vishnu Sahasra Nama Stotram - Translation and Commentary

The Vishnu Sahastra Namavali, also known as Vishnu Sahastranama Stotra, is a revered hymn in Hindu tradition that comprises one thousand names of Lord Vishnu. It is part of the Mahabharatam, found in the Anushasana Parvam (Book of Final Instructions by Bheeshma). The hymn is a conversation between the warrior Bheeshma Pitamaha, who is on his deathbed on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, and Yudhishthira. Bheeshma Pitamaha emphasizes that chanting the names of Bhagavan Sri Maha Vishnu enables one for attaining liberation (moksham).
