And here comes my favorite... ఓం నమో భగవతే వాసుదేవాయ ! శాంతాకారం భుజగశయనం పద్మనాభం సురేశమ్ | విశ్వాధారం గగన సదృశం మేఘవర్ణం శుభాంగమ్ | లక్ష్మీకాంతం కమలనయనం యోగి హృద్ధ్యాన గమ్యమ్ | వందే విష్ణుం భవ భయ హరం సర్వ లోకైక నాథమ్ || We meditate ("vande") upon the master ("naatham") of the universe ("sarva-lokaika"), lord Vishnu, who is ever peaceful ("shaanta-aakaaram"), who lies on the great serpent-bed ("bhujaga-shayanam"), from whose navel ("nabhi") springs the lotus ("padma") of the creative power, who is the controller ("eesham") of the gods ("sura")... ...whose form ("aakaaram") is the entire universe ("vishwa"), and who is the foundation ("aadhaaram") for the universe. who is all pervading ("sadrusham") as the sky ("gagana"), of the hue ("varnam") of the cloud ("megha"), of fascinating beauty ("shuba-angam"), ... the lord ("kaantam") of Laksmi, the lotus ("kamala") eyed ("nayanam"), he who dwells in the hearts ("bhir") of the yogis and who can be approached ("gamyam") and perceived through meditation ("dhyaana"), We pray to ("vande") to Lord Vishnu, he who is the destroyer ("haram") of the fear ("bhaya") of samsara ("bhava") and the Lord of all ("sarva") the worlds ("loka"). This is the meditation upon the form of the lord, visualising Him thus in His, all-Comprehensive nature, and meditating upon Him, the seeker starts the vishnu-sahasranaama chanting.
