The Rite of Worshipping Vishnu

Verse 1 (garuda.1.31.1)

।।रुद्र उवाच । भूय एवं जगन्नाथ पूजां कथय मे प्रभो । यया तरेयं संसारसागरं ह्यतिदुस्तरम्

rudra uvāca bhūya evaṁ jagannātha pūjāṁ kathaya me prabho yayā tareyaṁ saṁsārasāgaraṁ hyatidustaram

Rudra said: O Lord of the universe, O Lord, again tell me that worship by which I may cross this ocean of worldly existence, so very hard to cross.

Verse 2 (garuda.1.31.2)

।।हरिरुवाच । अर्च्चनं विष्णुदेवस्य वक्ष्यामि वृषभध्वज । तच्छृणुष्व महाभाग भुक्तिमुक्तिप्रदं शुभम्

hariruvāca arccanaṁ viṣṇudevasya vakṣyāmi vṛṣabhadhvaja tacchṛṇuṣva mahābhāga bhuktimuktipradaṁ śubham

Hari said: O bearer of the bull-banner, I shall declare the worship of the God Vishnu. O greatly fortunate one, hear that auspicious worship, which grants both enjoyment and liberation.

Verse 3 (garuda.1.31.3)

कृत्वा स्नानं ततः सन्ध्यां ततो यागगृहं व्रजेत् । प्रक्षाल्य पाणी पादौ च आचम्य च विशेषतः

kṛtvā snānaṁ tataḥ sandhyāṁ tato yāgagṛhaṁ vrajet prakṣālya pāṇī pādau ca ācamya ca viśeṣataḥ

Having bathed, and then performed the twilight rite, one should go to the sacrificial hall. Having washed the hands and feet, and having sipped water in the prescribed manner,

Verse 4 (garuda.1.31.4)

मूलमन्त्रं समस्तं तु हस्तयोर्व्यापकं न्यसेत् । मूलमन्त्रं च देवस्य श्रृणु रुद्र वदामि ते

mūlamantraṁ samastaṁ tu hastayorvyāpakaṁ nyaset mūlamantraṁ ca devasya śrṛṇu rudra vadāmi te

one should perform the pervasive placement of the entire root-mantra upon both hands. O Rudra, listen to the root-mantra of the God; I shall tell it to you.

Verse 5 (garuda.1.31.5)

ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रीधराय विष्णवे नमः । अयं मन्त्रः सुरेशस्य विष्णोरीशस्य वाचकः

oṁ śrīṁ hrīṁ śrīdharāya viṣṇave namaḥ ayaṁ mantraḥ sureśasya viṣṇorīśasya vācakaḥ

"Om shrim hrim, salutation to Shridhara Vishnu." This mantra expresses the Lord of gods, Vishnu, the Lord.

Verse 6 (garuda.1.31.6)

सर्वव्याधिहरश्चैव सर्वग्रहहरस्तथा । सर्वपापहरश्चैव भक्तिमुक्तिप्रदायकः

sarvavyādhiharaścaiva sarvagrahaharastathā sarvapāpaharaścaiva bhaktimuktipradāyakaḥ

It destroys every disease, and likewise every malefic planetary affliction; it destroys every sin, and grants both devotion and liberation.

Verse 7 (garuda.1.31.7)

अङ्गन्यासं ततः कुय्यांदेभिर्मन्त्रौर्विचक्षणः । ॐ हां हृदयाय नमः । ॐ हीं शिरसे स्वाहा । ॐ हूं शिखायै वषट् । ॐ हैं कवचाय हुं । ॐ हौं नेत्रत्रयाय वौषट् । ॐ हः अस्त्राय फट्

aṅganyāsaṁ tataḥ kuyyāṁdebhirmantraurvicakṣaṇaḥ oṁ hāṁ hṛdayāya namaḥ oṁ hīṁ śirase svāhā oṁ hūṁ śikhāyai vaṣaṭ oṁ haiṁ kavacāya huṁ oṁ hauṁ netratrayāya vauṣaṭ oṁ haḥ astrāya phaṭ

Then the wise practitioner should perform the limb-placement with these mantras — "Om hāṁ, to the heart, salutation. Om hīṁ, to the head, svaha. Om hūṁ, to the crest, vashat. Om haiṁ, to the armor, hum. Om hauṁ, to the three eyes, vaushat. Om haḥ, to the weapon, phat."

Verse 8 (garuda.1.31.8)

इति मन्त्रः समाख्यातो मया ते प्रभविष्णुना । न्यासं कृत्वात्मनो मुद्रां दर्शयेद्विजितात्मवान्

iti mantraḥ samākhyāto mayā te prabhaviṣṇunā nyāsaṁ kṛtvātmano mudrāṁ darśayedvijitātmavān

Thus has this mantra been declared to you by me, mighty Vishnu. Having performed the placement, the self-controlled one should display his own mudra.

ततो ध्यायेत्परं विष्णु ह्रृत्कोटरसमाश्रितम् । शङ्खचक्रसमायुक्तं कुन्देन्दुधवलं हरिम्

tato dhyāyetparaṁ viṣṇu hrṛtkoṭarasamāśritam śaṅkhacakrasamāyuktaṁ kundendudhavalaṁ harim

Then one should meditate upon the supreme Vishnu, dwelling in the cavity of the heart — Hari, joined with conch and discus, white as the kunda flower and the moon.

Verse 10 (garuda.1.31.10)

श्रीवत्सकौस्तुभयुतं वनमालासमन्वितम् । रत्नहारकिरीटेन संयुक्तं परमेश्वरम्

śrīvatsakaustubhayutaṁ vanamālāsamanvitam ratnahārakirīṭena saṁyuktaṁ parameśvaram

One should meditate upon him, joined with Shrivatsa and Kaustubha, adorned with the forest-garland, and joined with a jeweled necklace and crown — the Supreme Lord.

Verse 11 (garuda.1.31.11)

अहं विष्णुरिति ध्यात्वा कृत्वा वै शोधनादिकम् । यं क्षौं रमिति बीजैश्च कठिनीकृत्य नामभिः

ahaṁ viṣṇuriti dhyātvā kṛtvā vai śodhanādikam yaṁ kṣauṁ ramiti bījaiśca kaṭhinīkṛtya nāmabhiḥ

Meditating "I myself am Vishnu," and having performed the purification and the rest, one should harden the body with the seed-syllables "yaṁ kṣauṁ raṁ" and the names.

Verse 12 (garuda.1.31.12)

अण्डमुत्पाद्य च ततः प्रणवेनैव भेदयेत् । तत्र पूर्वोक्तरूपं तु भावयित्वा वृषध्वज

aṇḍamutpādya ca tataḥ praṇavenaiva bhedayet tatra pūrvoktarūpaṁ tu bhāvayitvā vṛṣadhvaja

Then, having generated the egg, one should split it open with the syllable Om alone. There, O bearer of the bull-banner, contemplating the form already described,

Verse 13 (garuda.1.31.13)

आत्मपूजां ततः कुर्य्याद्रन्धपुष्पादिभिः शुभैः । आवाह्य पूजयेत्सर्वा देवता आसनस्य याः

ātmapūjāṁ tataḥ kuryyādrandhapuṣpādibhiḥ śubhaiḥ āvāhya pūjayetsarvā devatā āsanasya yāḥ

one should then perform self-worship with auspicious sandal-paste, flowers, and the rest. Having invoked them, one should worship all the deities of the seat.

Verse 14 (garuda.1.31.14)

मन्त्रैरेभिर्महादेव तन्मन्त्रं श्रृणु शंकर । विष्णवासनदेवता आगच्छत

mantrairebhirmahādeva tanmantraṁ śrṛṇu śaṁkara viṣṇavāsanadevatā āgacchata

O great God, with these mantras one should worship — O Shankara, hear that mantra. "Deities of Vishnu's seat, come."
