About this stotra
Viṣṇupādādikeśāntastotram is a detailed hymn attributed to Sri Adi Shankaracharya in praise of Lord Vishnu. The title means 'from feet to the end of hair': the poet meditates on each aspect of the Lord's form in ascending order.
The hymn opens with salutations to Panchajanya, Sudarshana, Sarnga, Nandaka, Kaumodaki, Garuda, Ananta, and Lakshmi before turning to the dust, lines, and lotus feet of Vishnu himself. This edition presents the first twelve verses of the full stotra.
