ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Traditional Vaishnava stotra (smriti / Pauranic tradition) · Traditional (anonymous) · Classical
This well-loved short stotra teaches the practice of constant remembrance (smarana) of God by assigning a specific name of Vishnu to each common situation of human life. By naming Vishnu in illness, food, sleep, marriage, travel, danger, fire, water, forest and death, it weaves devotion into every moment of daily living. Many of the sixteen names — Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana/Trivikrama and Rama — are the Lord's celebrated Dashavatara forms, linking everyday life to his cosmic descents.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is traditionally said that one who keeps these sixteen names ready in the mind is guarded by the Lord in every danger — recalling Jalashayin in fire or Madhusudana in sudden crisis is believed to instantly summon Vishnu's protective grace.

Vishnu Shodasha Nama Stotram ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Recite the five verses soon after rising at dawn, ideally after a bath, facing east. Learn the sixteen names and their situations so they can be recalled instantly through the day — Janardana while eating, Madhusudana in danger, Narayana at the final hour, and so on. The stotra is short and meant to be memorized so that the appropriate name of the Lord springs to mind in every circumstance.
