VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
with eyes that are like the lotus, have never to meet
with any discomfiture.
Thus ends the 149th chapter consisting of the Divine
Hymn, Sahasranama of Vishnu, in the dialogue between
Bhishma and Yudhishthira in the Anusasanika Parva in
the Mahabharata.¹
'Lord of the Universe and other epithets indicate
that the reciters of this hymn become virtuous, and have
their objects and actions fulfilled, as they worship the Lord
of the Universe. Vyasa says: "The Srutis say that any
act carelessly performed, any irregular procedure in sacri-
fices, is rendered perfect by meditating upon Vishnu."
"If one praises the Creator of the Universe with the
same ardour with which he would praise a rich man to get
wealth from him, would he not be delivered from the
bonds (of Samsāra) ?"
This commentary of Sahasranama, which brings happi-
ness to all and was written in accordance with Sruti and
reason, is dedicated to the feet of Hari.
Thus ends the Bhashya of Sri Sankaracharya, the
Teacher of the Parama Hamsa Sanyasins, the student of
Govinda Bhagavatpāda.
