 Introduction

The dialogue between Yudhiṣṭhira and Bhīṣma in the Mahābhārata constitutes the core of the story that is behind this famous hymn

After the great war of the field of Kuru, the Pāṇḍavas have won, but the victory has a bitter taste: The entire family has been practically annihilated. Yudhiṣṭhira, the new king, carries a weight that does not leave him in peace. He does not celebrate. He asks himself, again and again, whether all that bloodshed had any meaning. In the midst of that state of mind, he turns to his grandfather Bhīṣma, who lies on a bed of arrows on the battlefield, waiting for the propitious moment to die.

Bhīṣma is a peculiar figure in this story. He is not a sage retired in a cave nor a teacher seated in a temple. He is an old warrior who fought on the enemy side, who was struck down by Arjuna's arrows and who, by a personal vow, cannot simply die: He has to wait for the northern solstice to arrive. He is, therefore, on the threshold between life and death, suffering physically, but preserving an extraordinary mental clarity. Yudhiṣṭhira approaches him not only as king to subject, but as grandson to grandfather, as someone who was raised by that man and who now sees him die.

What Yudhiṣṭhira puts before him are not abstract questions of theology, but questions that are born from a concrete experience of destruction. He asks him who the only supreme God is, what the ultimate end of life is, whom one must praise to obtain prosperity in this world and bliss in the next, on whom one must meditate, what name one must recite to liberate oneself from the cycle of births and deaths, and which is, among all duties, the highest. There are six questions, but behind all of them there is only one: how does one go on living after having destroyed everything?

Bhīṣma's answer is unexpected in its form. He does not offer a philosophical treatise nor a gradual argumentation. He simply recites a thousand names of Viṣṇu. Each name points to an aspect of the divine: His power, His mercy, His omnipresence, His role as sustainer of the cosmos. The idea that underlies this is that reciting these thousand names is equivalent to performing a thousand sacrifices. And since the majority of people cannot execute the complex Vedic rituals, the recitation of names becomes an accessible path for all, without restrictions of caste, of gender or of condition.

Bhīṣma does not only recite the names: He explicitly affirms that this is the highest dharma. Not because the other duties do not matter, but because this one contains them all in a simple and direct manner. Reciting the name of Viṣṇu, for Bhīṣma, is the most effective remedy against the suffering of Saṃsāra, the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. It is, in a certain sense, the most democratic form of liberation.

At the end of the dialogue, Bhīṣma pronounces some words that function as his spiritual testament. He tells Yudhiṣṭhira, and all those who are present, that they should always follow the truth, in thought, word and action; that they should seek in themselves the infinite and the eternal; that they should practice discipline and compassion. And he concludes with an affirmation that summarizes all his teaching: Where Kṛṣṇa is, there is dharma; and where dharma is, there is infallible victory.

What makes this dialogue singular is not only its content, but its location in the story. It is not a treatise written in a monastery, but a conversation between a man who has just lost everything and an old man who is about to die. Yudhiṣṭhira asks from the wound of the war; Bhīṣma responds from the edge of life. The result is not a doctrine, but a legacy: The idea that, even in the midst of destruction, there is a name that can be recited, a presence in which one can trust, a path that does not require great rituals but a simple and constant surrender.

I must note one thing: As a translator of this hymn I will now be giving the literal meanings «in general». Almost every name has a host of very subtle symbolic meanings. I will hardly ever be providing them or my translation would be never-ending.

Now read the Śrīviṣṇusahasranāmastotram and experience Supreme Delight, dear Śiva.

Important: Everything that is between parentheses and in italics within the translation has been added by me to complete the sense of a given phrase or sentence. In turn, everything that is between double hyphen (--...--) constitutes additional clarifying information also added by me.
