Vishnu Sahasranama - Praise of Vishnu in form of Krishna and Vyasa

 

सच्चिदानन्दरूपाय कृष्णायाक्लिष्टकारिणे|

नमो वेदान्तवेद्याय गुरवे बुद्धिसाक्षिणे||

Om. Adoration to Krishna whose nature is sat, cit, ananda, who effortlessly acts, who is known through Vedanta, who is the Guru, and who is the witness of all cognitions.

आदिस्त्वं सर्वभूतानां मध्यमन्तस्तथा भगवान्।

त्वत्तः सर्वमभूद् विश्वं त्वयि सर्वं प्रलीयते।।

You Krishna are the source of all beings; so also are you the middle and end thereof. The whole world has issued out of you; in you all attain dissolution.

कृष्णद्वैपायनं व्यासं सर्वलोकाहितैषिणाम्।

वेदाब्जभास्करं वन्दे शमादिनिलयं मुनिम्।।

I adore the sage Krishnadvaipayana  Vyasa, devoted to the welfare of all beings, who is the sun to the lotus of the Vedas and who is the abode of self-control etc.
