Phalashruti* of Vishnusahasranaam stotra
(* usually all stotras are followed by phalashruti that describes the benefits of chanting that stotra). Here attempt has been made to understand phalashruti of Vishnusahasranaam stotra.


In this stotra, the great Keshava, who is worthy of praising, has been praised through His 1000 beautiful names. 


One who sings or listens to these 1000 names everyday will never experience any inauspiciousness.



By chanting these 1000 names, Brahmin will become adept in chanting Vedas and will achieve all knowledge, Kshatriya will achieve victory in their duty, Vaishya will gain all wealth they seek for and Shudra will achieve happiness. In essence everyone will achieve success in their prescribed duties.



By chanting these 1000 names one will get whatever they seek for. One who seeks dharma will achieve success in dharma, one who seeks wealth will obtain wealth, one who seeks happy family life will lead happy family life.


One who sings these 1000 names of Vasudeva with utmost devotion, will achieve immense success, will gain knowledge that lasts, will attain best and beneficial, will be always fearless, will achieve valor, will attain all good qualities needed for leading virtuous life. One who is diseased will get relief from disease, one who is bound will achieve freedom, one who has fears will achieve freedom from fears, one who is affected by calamity will be protected.



One who chants these 1000 names of best of best purushas will cross all miseries of life.


One who seeks refuge in Vasudeva will achieve purest mind and at the end will become one with Brahma.



Devotees of Vasudeva never experience any inauspiciousness. They never experience any fear that usually results from birth, death and diseases caused due to old age.



One who such praises Vasudeva with utmost devotion attains all happiness, achieves all good qualities such as tolerance, valor, good memory and as a result achieves fame among fellow beings.



As a result of great merit, those who become devotees of Vasudeva, do not imbibe any bad qualities such as anger, jealousy, greed or desire to perform bad action. 


All this universe – sun, moon, space, directions, earth are born out of valor of great Vasudeva.



All beings, all gods, all demigods and all demons seek refuge in all pervasive Lord Krishna.



The senses, mind, intellect, valor, body and knower of body are all pervaded by Vasudeva.



Righteous action is the basis of life. Virtue is born out of righteous action and by virtue Lord of this universe, the protector of virtue, is propitiated



Sages, departed souls, gods, the five great elements, the movable and immovable, all are born of Narayana.


Yoga, knowledge, saankhya, all arts, sciences are sprouted from Lord Janardana



Lord Vishnu is the one and only great being, yet he pervades all human beings, all lokas. He is the cause of all these and protector too. And still He is not affected by any of these.


One who wants to achieve all happiness in the world, should chant these 1000 names of Lord Vishnu compiled by Sage Vyasa.


The Lord of the Universe is devoid of birth and death. He is the cause of the creation and dissolution of this universe. Those who praise him by chanting these 1000 names will never incur defeat in any of their endeavors.
