The Narayana Suktham is a hymn in Yajurveda.

Narayana, in Hinduism, is considered as the thousand-headed one, thousand-eyed, and thousand-limbed. Narayana is the vedantic conception for the Eternal (ayana) Purusha(Nara), the Supreme divinity.

This hymn is a sung to worship Narayana, the universal Self which is identified with the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. This prayer extols Narayana as`all that is manifest and unmanifest. It beautifully and symbolically describes the soul of man (atman) as the spark of the Supreme.

TEXT:
sahasrara deva vivka vivaambhuva,
viva nryaa devamakara parama padam.

vivata paramam nitya viva nryaag harim,
vivameveda puruastadvivamupajvati.

pati vivasytmevarag vatag ivamacyutam,
nryaa mahjeya vivtmna paryaam.

nryaa paro jyotirtm nryaa para.
nryaa para brahma tattva nryaa para,
nryaa paro dhyt dhynam nryaa para.

yacca kicijjagatsarva dyate ryate'pi v,
antarbahica tatsarva vypya nryaa sthita.

anantamavyaya kavig samudre'nta vivaambhuvam,
padmakoapratkag hdaya cpyadhomukham.

adho niay vitasynte nbhymupari tihati,
jvlamlkula bhti vivasyyatana mahat.

santatagum ilbhistu lambatykoasannibham,
tasynte suiragum skma tasmin sarva pratihitam.

tasya madhye mahanagnirvivrcirvivatomukha,
so'grabhug vibhajan tihan hramajara kavi.

tiryagrdhvamaday ramayastasya santat,
santpayati sva dehamptatalamastakam,
tasya madhye vahniikh ayordhv vyavasthita.

nlatoyadamadhyasthd vidyullekheva bhsvar,
nvrakavattanv pt bhsvatyapam.

tasy ikhy madhye paramtm vyavasthita,
sa brahma sa iva sa hari sendra so'kara parama svar.
