The Vishnu Sahasranama & the 108 Nakshatra-Padas

The zodiac divides into 27 Nakshatras of 13°20′ each, and each Nakshatra into 4 Padas of 3°20′ — 108 divisions in all. The Sri Vishnu Sahasranama, the thousand names of Vishnu recited from the Mahabharata's Anushasana Parva, is traditionally chanted as 108 slokas. This page pairs the two 108s in sequence — Ashwini Pada 1 with Sloka 1, straight through to Revati Pada 4 with Sloka 108 — each sloka given in Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Gujarati and English, alongside its exact degree range.

Sanskrit verses are transcribed from the widely published text of the Vishnu Sahasranama; the translations are original condensed glosses, not a specific translator's copyrighted text. Please cross-check the Sanskrit against a printed edition (e.g. Ramakrishna Math or Gita Press) before devotional or liturgical use, especially for pronunciation. The pairing with Nakshatra-Padas is this page's own organizing scheme, not a claim of scriptural correspondence.
