(Devi
Maha Saraswati! You possess a radiant physique smeared with the cool and
fragrant sandalwood paste attired in spotless white clothing wearing
garlands of aromatic jasmine flowers around the neatly arranged head hair lock
of yours and is ornamented with impeccable pearl necklaces. Indeed you are the
epitome of wisdom carrying books of knowledge adorned with strings of Rudraksha
Beads. You are the unique Goddess of Voice and Speech; the Lotus Faced
and the Lotus Resider ; and the Mother of the Three Worlds of Earth,
Nether and Higher Realms being the most auspicious and the benevolent.)

(Narada!This
utmost confidential narration of the features of Devi Saraswati is indeed
worthy of learning by all the persons of virtue as that is not only
the effective medium to smash all kinds of fears and impediments
but also to pave the smooth way for achieving shining success of possible
endeavours. In the times immemorial, Lord Brahma noticed ‘Sthavara jangamas’ or
the Moveable or Immobile Beings and after meditation to the Almighty for
innumerable Divya Years and at long last succeeded in the creation of the
Three Lokas when Devi Vani the Unique Shakti manifested by herself as the
Maha Vidya or the Embodiment of Immortal Knowledge as the Goddess
of Learning and Vocal Powers. I am now instructing you now the Thousand and Odd
Names of Saraswati for the benefit of the posterity so that the latter could
live with confidence and self reliance. The inhabitants of the next generations
of the Worlds would indeed be enlightened and blessed with this following
Script of the ‘Maha Saaraswatwa’ and ‘Vaagishatwa’ – the essence of Saraswati
Vidya and of Vaageswari Tatwa as they would be highly contented undoubtedly.
The inner voice initiated by Pitamaha Brahma got expressed as Stutis and
Stotras of Devi Saraswati ever since then. Narada! Do concentrate the following
with earnestness and with clean conscience).

The above Vishnu Sahasranaama bestows all kinds of ‘Siddhis’ (Accomplishments) and fulfills all desires. Those who read or hear the ‘Stotra’ with concentration and earnestness during Three Sandhyas a day would for certain become free from past and present sins. After reading the Stotra, a Devotee should sincerely greet Bhagavan Vishnu and read: Sahasraakshah Sahasraanghrih Sahasravadanojjvalah, Sahasranaamanthaakshah Sahasrabhuja the Namaha / (Source: Avanti Khanda of Skanda Purana)

(I greet Gopala whose appearance was blue like the radiance of fresh water, whose essential nature was of kindness, who lifted the Mountain of Govardhana with His hands, who played a big sonorous flute, who administered the People of Vraja with care, who was in the habit of performing childish pranks for the entertainment of the women of Vraja and whose neck adorned the highly attractive garland of Tulasi leaves).
