Sree Vishnu Sahrasanamastotram.

Vishnu Sahrasanama is a great hymn recited daily by Indians for decades. Although there are other Vishnu Sahrasanams of Vyasa in Kamala Purana, Masha Purana etc., Vishnu Sahrasana of Mahabharata is the most famous.

After the Mahabharata war, Yudhishthira found Bhishmacharya waiting to die at Sarasya and sought his boon as directed by Lord Krishna. The wise old Bhishma cleared Yudhishthira's doubts and taught him the royal dharma. Finally Yudhishthira asked Bhishma Patamahan thus.

“Kimekam daivatam loke kim vapyekam parayanam

Stuvantah cum kamarchantah prapnuyurmanavah auspicious

Ko dharmah sarvadharmanam bhavatah paramo matah

Kim Japanmuchyathe Janturjanmasamsarabandhanat”

(Who is the only god in the world? What is the only and supreme attainment? By worshiping any god can men attain virtue? Which of all dharma do you consider to be the best? By chanting which man can be freed from the bondage of birth?)In response to these questions, Bhishma replied that "Vishnu, Lord of the Worlds, Infinite, God of Gods, is the only God, He is the access point of everything, and praising and worshiping Him is the best dharma. People who worship the Lord by reverently chanting the Sahrasanama, get rid of the speech of birth and death." Then Bhishma was instructed by Yudhishthira to perform Sree Vishnu Sahrasanamastotram.
