Introduction
About this Manuscript
This text is the Viṣṇusahasranāmastotra. It appears in the Mahābhārata and is traditionally regarded as one of the most sacred and powerful hymns in Hindu spiritual literature. The verses were compiled by the sage Vyāsa, who is also credited with composing the Mahābhārata itself. The Viṣṇusahasranāma consists of one thousand epithets that praise and describe Lord Viṣṇu, each highlighting a divine quality, action, or attribute. Reciting or contemplating these names is believed to bestow peace, protection, spiritual wisdom, and liberation. Invocation, colophon and introduction of speakers in red. Mistakes are covered over with white or written over. It is written in 7 lines per leaf.
