Narratorial/ritual rubric (viniyoga statement introducing the stotra)
Concept: Viṣṇu-śatanāma is a dual-purpose sādhanā: it grants worldly fulfillment (sarva-kāma-samṛddhi) and ultimate liberation (mokṣa), while destroying sins.
Application: Set a clear saṅkalpa before chanting: (1) purification of habits (pāpa-kṣaya), (2) right prosperity aligned with dharma, (3) remembrance aimed at mokṣa; keep a consistent daily count or weekly observance.

FAQs
A viniyoga is a traditional rubric that states how a hymn is to be applied—typically naming its purpose (phala), the seer (ṛṣi), the deity (devatā), and the meter (chandas) to frame recitation and intent.
The verse specifies: Brahmā as the ṛṣi (seer), Viṣṇu as the devatā (presiding deity), and Anuṣṭubh as the chandas (meter).
It associates the recitation with prosperity/fulfillment of all desires (sarvakāma-samṛddhi), the destruction of all sins (sarvapāpa-kṣaya), and also liberation (mokṣa).
