KULAMRIT STOTRA
Sage Narada once asked Lord Shiva about the means by which a man could become free from the delusions of the world. Lord Shiva revealed to him the contents of 'Kulamrit stotra', eulogizing the majesty of Lord Vishnu.

One who eulogizes Lord Vishnu by chanting this stotra, becomes liberated from all the bondage of the world. The stotra goes as follows Yastu Vishwamana Dyanta Majamatmani Sansthitam; Sarvagya Machalam Vishnum Sada Dhyayet Sa Muchyet.
