(I salute and pray to Gopaala paalaka Bhagavan Krishna whose physique shines like the fresh blue and bright clouds, whose benign features are acclaimed as full of magnanimity, whose hands are raised by softly lifting the inconceivable weight of Govardhana Mountain, whose popular flute resonates the surroundings with mellifluous and heavenly tunes, who administers the ‘BrajaVasis’ with care and affection, who displays his ‘Leelaas’ or miracles to the mesmerised Gopika maids with amusement some times and utter surprise other times but fully absorbing always and who always sports Tulasi Garlands which enhance their shine and fragrance by their being worn by him around his soft and tender neck!)

[* Two allusions about Goutama were made in the Scriptures prominently: Maha Bharata referred to Indra’s infatuation to Ahalya the learned wife of Goutama as the former cheated her in bed by assuming the appearance of Goutama and on learning of this incident the Maharshi cursed Ahalya to turn into a stone only to revive her original self when Shri Rama happened to touch the stone by his Sacred foot and also cursed Indra for his sin to turn his body into thousand eyes resembling the feminine genitals; another reference about Goutama from Brahmanda Purana was that his Ashram or Residing Garden was not touched by famine for twelve years as Kalpa Taru or the Celestial Tree and Kama Dhenu the Celestial Cow provided free food to innumerable Brahmanas and Rishis as the latter were happy with good food and recited Devi Gayatri fulfilling Bhukti and Bhakti or food and devotion; but a few of the Brahmans disturbed by Goautama’s name and fame turned too jealous, hid the Kama Dhenu, materialised a Maya Dhenu and killed the cow blaming Goutama for the ‘Gohatya’ when truth no doubt came to light Gayatri Devi remarked that after all one fed a cobra with milk but the reptile would produce poison ony! ]

 [* one instance related to King Ambereesha’s observance of Ekadashi Vrata fast when Durvasa arrived with several of his disciples on Dwadashi and made the King to wait to let him break his fast almost till the last second of Dwadashi as the King had to have a sip of water at least since Dwadashi was entering Trayodashi and the Ekadashi Vrata would be futile otherwise; Durvasa returned and got furious at the King since the latter did not wait for the return of the Sage from bathing at a river nearby and pulled out a lock of hair when flames appeared when Sudarshana chakra appeared to destroy the flames and chasesd the Sage but Durvasa pleaded with the Chakra that he was only testing the King’s tenacity till the last second of Dwadashi. Another such instance was when Lakshmana was tested as he was instructed by Rama not to allow anyone to let in, Durvasa arrived and forced his entry despite Rama’s instruction and Rama abandoned Lakshmana the example of devotion to Rama as to why Durvasa was not let in only to vindicate that Munis of Durvasa’s standing ought to be welcomed and Lakshman failed to use his discretion; yet another example was when Durvasa tested the devotion of Draupadi to Munis as he and Sishyas arrived at the ‘Parnashala’ or the Ashram of Pandavas during their Vana Vasa or Forest Life well after their lunch; she was unable to cook once again and got clueless but a morsel  of cooked rice remained deep inside the vessel and prayed to Krishna to save the situation as the Lord suppressed the hunger of Durvasa and sishyas and the morsel of rice turned out plentiful of food to serve them all];

The recitation is stated to be of great significance to demolish Bala Grahas, Mohini and such other Shaktis, Evil Spirits and so on. Persons with devotion and faith who would be constantly engaged with the recitations would conquer hunger, thirst, anger,and self-control. Intense prayer and meaningful recitation by fully understanding the concealed import of the Thousand Sacred Names of Bhagavan Vishnu would also firm up steps towards  Vishnu dhaam- Vaikuntha where Peetambara Dhari Chaturbhuja Bhagavan recides for ever.

(Sahasra Bhujadhari Narayana with thousand eyes and thousand feet! You possess thousand faces of brilliance and hands of unsurpassed might. Bhagavan! These thousand names of yours are merely indicative as your features and forms are endless)
