VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
 
"Even one salutation heartily rendered to Krishna is equal
to ten horse-sacrifices duly performed. He who has per-
formed ten Asvamedha sacrifices is again born, but he who
salutes Krishna is not. There is no fear to those who bow
down before Govinda whose colour resembles that of Atasi
flower, who is undecaying and clad in white garment.
The sins committed by man in his past births, in thousands
of Kalpas and Pralayas, are immediately destroyed by
slightly bowing down his head before the master of three
worlds, the Supreme Lord, Vishnu of uncomparable
excellence.
 
(Slo. 120)
 
Vya. Concluding verse.
 
Adoration to the Munis, the authors of the Mahabha-

Adoration to the Gurus Sarvesvaratirtha,
 
Adoration to the creatures of the Lord.¹
 
Ka. At the end of the last name, the author says:
 
"I am Thy servant in the sense of my body. I am
Thy part in the sense of my Jiva. I am Thyself in the
sense of Atman. This is my settled mind."
 
Thus ends the Tenth Hundred.
 
PHALA SRUTI OR RESULT-REPORT
 
121. Thus have I recited to thee, without leaving out
any, the thousand divine names of the high-souled Kesava
whose glory should always be sung.
 
By the word thus is meant that the thousand names
have been recited exactly without any addition or
diminution. Divine: the names include different words
 
There is a verse at the end of the MSS. which runs as follows:
Subramanya (the copyist) has copied the Namakárika composed by
a yati and brought by (one) Subramanya from Kerala country.
