Origin & Story
Vishnu Sahasranama phalashruti, Anushasana Parva of the Mahabharata · Sage Vyasa (revealed through Bhishma) · Ancient (Mahabharata, Itihasa period)
When the Pandavas approached the dying Bhishma, lying on a bed of arrows after the great war of Kurukshetra, Yudhishthira asked him by what single hymn a person could be liberated from all sorrow. Bhishma taught the thousand names of Vishnu and then declared this phalashruti, describing the abundant fruits gained by anyone who hears or recites them with devotion.
✦ As told in scripture
Traditional accounts hold that countless devotees who recited the Vishnu Sahasranama daily with this phalashruti were freed of chronic illness, debt and fear; the great Acharya Shankara, in his commentary, affirms that even one who simply hears the names attains protection from all evil in both worlds.
