Vyasa Vandana (Vyasaya Vishnu Rupaya) — Complete Lyrics
व्यास वन्दना (व्यासाय विष्णुरूपाय)
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
व्यासाय विष्णुरूपाय व्यासरूपाय विष्णवे।
नमो वै ब्रह्मनिधये वासिष्ठाय नमो नमः॥
Vyasaya Vishnu-rupaya Vyasa-rupaya Vishnave
Namo Vai Brahma-nidhaye Vasishthaya Namo Namah
Salutations to Vyasa, who is the very form of Vishnu, and to Vishnu, who took the form of Vyasa; salutations indeed to the treasure-house of the Vedas, to the noble son of the Vasishtha line — salutations again and again. He is Brahma without the four faces, another Vishnu but with only two arms, Shiva without the third eye on his brow — such is the Lord Badarayana (Vyasa).
Verse 2
अचतुर्वदनो ब्रह्मा द्विबाहुरपरो हरिः।
अफाललोचनः शम्भुर्भगवान् बादरायणः॥
Achatur-vadano Brahma Dvi-bahur-aparo Harih
Aphala-lochanah Shambhur Bhagavan Badarayanah
