Visnusahasranama (Thousand Names of Visnu)

Here, we have presented the monumental commentary of Sri Samkaracarya on the Visnusahasranama. The Sahasranama Stotra-s are hymns addressed to some particular deity of the Hindu pantheon and invoke him by a thousand names. The most important of these Stotra-s are the Sahasranama-s of Devi, Visnu and Siva. The style of this text is very systematic and authoritative in explaining every name, mostly in the light of the Vedas, the Mahabharata, the Manusmrti, the Visnupurana and the Bhagavadgita which are considered as the standard classics of Hindu religious literature.
