Traditional Vishnu Dhyana Shloka · Traditional · Classical
This single luminous verse is the classical dhyana (meditation) shloka of Lord Vishnu, recited across India before his worship and before the Vishnu Sahasranama. In one sweep it beholds Narayana asleep on the serpent Shesha upon the milk-ocean — serene, lotus-naveled, cloud-blue and lotus-eyed — the support of all the worlds and the remover of every fear.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
Sages hold that to picture the Lord as this verse describes — serene upon the serpent, lotus-eyed and cloud-hued — is itself to be freed of fear; it is chanted first so that the mind, steadied on that peaceful form, may enter worship without agitation.
