Educational Q&A
Regular, devotion-filled praise of Puruṣottama through the Viṣṇu-sahasranāma enables one to overcome dangers and hardships swiftly; disciplined bhakti is presented as a practical support for resilience and protection.
Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma and sacred practice, states the फल (result) of reciting/praising Viṣṇu by the thousand names: the devotee who does so daily transcends संकट (durgāṇi) quickly.
