Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Namaste all, Could you kindly help with this word in the famous Shri Vishnu Shlokam: " Shaantakaram Bhujaga Shayanam...Vande Vishnu Bhava Bhaya Haram/Haranam?(..) " . I have heard people saying both versions and I am confused as to which Sanskrit word is the correct one as I am not well-versed in Sanskrit. Please help me to clear my confusion. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Namaste, If the " haraNam " comes there, then the chhandas (metre) is broken. The version " vande viShNuM bhava bhaya haraM " is correct. For the first word in the second line, there are two versions: " vishvaakaaraM " and " vishvaadhaaram " . Both fit the metre and both are meaningful (one means " one who has taken the shape of this universe " and the other means " basis of the whole universe " ).
