Stotra Path (स्तोत्र पाठ)
॥ श्री विष्णु सूक्तम् ॥
ॐ विष्णोर्नु कं वीर्याणि प्र वोचं यः पार्थिवानि विममे रजांसि।
यो अस्कभायदुत्तरं सधस्थं विचक्रमाणस्त्रेधोरुगायः॥ १॥
प्र तद्विष्णुः स्तवते वीर्येण मृगो न भीमः कुचरो गिरिष्ठाः।
यस्योरुषु त्रिषु विक्रमणेष्वधिक्षियन्ति भुवनानि विश्वा॥ २॥
प्र विष्णवे शूषमेतु मन्म गिरिक्षित उरुगायाय वृष्णे।
य इदं दीर्घं प्रयतं सधस्थमेको विममे त्रिभिरित्पदेभिः॥ ३॥
यस्य त्री पूर्णा मधुना पदान्यक्षीयमाणा स्वधया मदन्ति।
य उ त्रिधातु पृथिवीमुत द्यामेको दाधार भुवनानि विश्वा॥ ४॥
तदस्य प्रियमभि पाथो अश्यां नरो यत्र देवयवो मदन्ति।
उरुक्रमस्य स हि बन्धुरित्था विष्णोः पदे परमे मध्व उत्सः॥ ५॥
ता वां वास्तून्युश्मसि गमध्यै यत्र गावो भूरिशृङ्गा अयासः।
अत्राह तदुरुगायस्य वृष्णः परमं पदमव भाति भूरि॥ ६॥
