Vishnu Panjara Stotra:
Vishnuh praachyaam sthitaschakri Harir-dakshinato Gadee,
Prateetchaam Shaarangadhrug Vishnurjishnuh khadgee mamottarey
Hrishikesho Vikoneshu tatcchidreshu Janaardanah,
Krodarupee Herirbhumow Narasimheswrarey mama
Kshuraantamamalam chakram bhramatyetat Sudarshanam,
Asyaamshumaalaa dushprekshya hantum pretanishaacharaan
Gadaa cheyam Sahasraarchih pradeepta paavakojjvalaa,
Raksho bhuta pisaachaanaam Daakineenaam cha naashani
Sharanga visphurjitah chaiva Vasudevasya madrapuun,
Tiryangmanushya kushmaanada preeytaadeena hantwa seshatah
Khangadhharojjwala jyotsnaana nirdhuta ye samaahitaah,

Meaning:
In the Eastern side is Chakradhaari Vishnu and in the Southern side is Gadaadhaari Shrihari. Bhagavaan Hrishikesha is protecting in the ‘Dikkonas’ or side-angles, Janaardana is situated in the middle portion. Varaaha dhaari Shrihari is protecting on the Bhumi and Bhagavan Nrisimha shields on the Sky. In the other side-lines Sudarshana Chakra is constantly on the move and provides guard all over. If ‘Pretas’ or ‘Nishaacharas’-the night-long tormentors-seek to bother, they woud find it impossible to withstand the extreme dazzle of the Sudarshana Chakra. Bhagavan Shri Hari’s ‘Gadaa’ or Mace called Kaumudi sparkles with thousands of highly explosive rays. These sizzling rays destroy Rakshasas, Bhutas, Piscachas and Daakinis instantly. Bagavan Vaasudeva’s Sharanga Dhanush creates such deafening and reverberating sound waves that ‘Shatru Bhuta Manushya’(most cruel humans), ‘Kushmandas’, ‘Pretas’, ‘Tiryagyoni’ Praanis or these frightening species on way back to be reborn again are extinguished at once. Those named or unnamed enemies to the devotees would get flooded in the tempestuous flows of overwhelming sparks of the ‘Khadga’ (Sword) of Shri Hari, in the same manner as Garuda Deva exteminates serpents. All the species that seek to torture Vishnu’s devotees be they Kushmanadas, Yakshas, Rakshasas, Pretas, Viyayakas, cruel human beings, hunting birds of huge or minuscule sizes, animals like lions or tigers, snakes, or of any evil spirits, would get overpowered by the ‘Shankha naada’ of Bhagavan. May Vishnu Kirtana provide me ‘Buddhi’, ‘Man’ and physical control and bestow ‘Swasthya labha’or multi-sided equilibrium to my inner- conciousness and purify my Soul to be worthy of the grace of Bhagavan Vishnu. Dedicated Bhaktaas are never let down by the most merciful ‘Paramaatma’; May this ‘Vishnu Panjara’ shield me from worldly distress and lead me on to the Sacred Path of Mukti.
