Abstract: The Puräëas in general are records of various transformations that have taken place on this earth and in the universe as a whole. Every time of human knowledge is recorded here along with His awareness that He is a speck in this large creation of the cosmos. He is also very much aware that if there is a creation there should be Creator; this Creator, though only One has been variously addressed by our ancient Åñis. In their gratitude to the Supreme Being they have extolled this Creator in numerous ways. Stotras are one type of praising the Creator as a record of our awe and devotion. The Puräëas are replete with stutis on the different deities. Lord Çiva and Lord Viñëu and goddess Çakti are the recipients of majority of stutis. Here the stutis specifically on Viñëu as found in the Äcära Kaëòa of Garuòapuräëa are analysed.
