Dhyanam before Vishnu Sahastrnama

kshIrodanvat-pradese suchi-mani-vilasat-saikate mautikAnAm
mAlA-kliptA-sanasthaH sphtika-mani-nibhaiH mautikaiH manditAngaH
Subhrair-abhrair-adabhraiH upari virachitaiH mukta-pIyUsha-varshaih
AnandI naH punIyAdari-nalina-gadA-Sankha-pAniH mukundaH.
[ May mukundA, with the discuss, mace, conch and lotus in His hands, purify us- mukundA who is seated on a seat of garlands of pearls, in the region of the milky ocean with the sand shining by the light from pure gems; who is adorned by pearls transparent like crystals; and who is enjoying ecstatic bliss on account of pure white clouds overhead, raining showers of nectar. ]
bhUH pAdau yasya nAbhir-viyada-suranila-candra-sUryau cha netre

antas-stham yasya viSvam sura-nara-khaga-go-bhogi-gandharva-daityaiH
chitram ramramyate tam tribhuvana-vapusham vishNum Isam namAmi.
[I bow to Lord vishNu who has the three worlds as His body. The Earth is His feet, and the sky His navel. Wind is His breath, and the Sun and the Moon are His eyes. Directions are His ears, and the Heaven is His head. Fire is His face and ocean His abdomen. In Him is situated the universe with diverse kinds of Gods, men, birds, cattle, serpents, gandharvas and daityas (demons)- all sporting in a charming way.]
Om namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya:
SantAkAram bhujaga-sayanam padmanAbham sureSam

lakshmi-kAntam kamala-nayanam yogibhir dhyAna-gamyam
vande vishNum bhava-bhaya-haram sarva-lokaika-nAtham.
[I salute vishNu, the sole master of the universe, whose presence is very peaceful, who stretches Himself on a serpent-bed (Adi-Sesha), who sports a lotus in His navel, who is one lord of all the devAs, who is the support of the worlds, who is subtle and All-pervading like the sky, whose complexion is like that of the clouds, whose form is very beautiful, who is the consort of Sri, whose eyes are like lotus petals, who is meditated upon by Yogis and who eradicates the fear of samsAra.]
megha-syAmam pIta-kauseya-vAsam
srI-vatsAnkam kaustubhodbhAsitAngam
punyopetam pundarIka-AyatAksham
vishNum vande sarva-lokaika-nAtham.
[I prostrate before vishNu, the one Lord of the worlds, blue as the cloud and clothed in yellow robes. His chest is marked by the mole known as srivatsa. His body is resplendent with kaustubha gem. He is surrounded by holy persons. And he has wide eyes like lotuses.]
Namah samasta bhutanam-adi-bhutaya bhubrite
Aneka-ruparupaya vishnave prabha-vishnave
saShamkha-chakram sakirIta-kunDalam

chayayam parijatasya hemasimhasanopari asinamambusdasyamamayataksamalankrtam
candrananam caturbahum srivatsankita vaksasam rukmini satyabhamabhyam sahitam krsnamasraya
[I bow down my head before the four-handed vishNu who sports in His hand the Sankha and the discuss, who is adorned with a crown and ear-pendants, who wears a yellow cloth, whose eyes resemble a lotus and whose chest is beautified by many necklaces and the kaustubha mark.]
