A verse of 16 names of Lord Vishnu is presented below. In this, under which conditions a man should remember Lord Vishnu by which name, it has been mentioned: -
औषधे चिंतयते विष्णुं, भोजने च जनार्दनम।
शयने पद्मनाभं च विवाहे च प्रजपतिं II
युद्धे चक्रधरं देवं प्रवासे च त्रिविक्रमं।
नारायणं तनु त्यागे श्रीधरं प्रिय संगमे II
दु:स्वप्ने स्मर गोविन्दं संकटे मधुसूदनम्।
कानने नारसिंहं च पावके जलशायिनाम II
जल मध्ये वराहं च पर्वते रघुनन्दनम्।
गमने वामनं चैव सर्व कार्येषु माधवम् II
षोडश एतानि नामानि प्रातरुत्थाय य: पठेत।
सर्व पाप विनिर्मुक्ते,विष्णुलोके महियते II
auṣadhe ciṃtayate viṣṇuṃ bhojane ca janārdanama |
śayane padmanābhaṃ ca vivāhe ca prajapatiṃ II
yuddhe cakradharaṃ devaṃ pravāse ca trivikramaṃ |
nārāyaṇaṃ tanu tyāge śrīdharaṃ priya saṃgame II
du:svapne smara govindaṃ saṃkaṭe madhusūdanam |
kānane nārasiṃhaṃ ca pāvake jalaśāyināma II
jala madhye varāhaṃ ca parvate raghunandanam |
gamane vāmanaṃ caiva sarva kāryeṣu mādhavam II
ṣoḍaśa etāni nāmāni prātarutthāya ya: paṭheta |
sarva pāpa vinirmukte,viṣṇuloke mahiyate ||
