Bhishma said One should always, diligently and throwing away all idleness, sing the praises of that Lord of the universe, that God of gods, (viz., Vasudeva), who is Infinite and the foremost of all Beings, by uttering His thousand names.
भीष्म उवाच जगत्प्रभुं देवदेवमनन्तं पुरुषोत्तमम्। स्तुवन् नामसहस्त्रेण पुरुषः सततोत्थितः॥
