    Most of the shlokas that are found before and after the Vishnu Sahasranama aren't part of the original text but may have been added later.The actual Sahasranama starts from the nama "Vishvam".I used to read the Sahasranama before and tried to find the origin of the other shlokas but couldn't.
    Namaste,

    The pre- and post- shlokas vary between North/West and South. The booklet I was given has the entire Bheeshma YudhisThir conversation (pre) and Arjun-KrshNa conversation (post).
    The VishNu SahasranAma is primarily from Mahabharat and that is where the pre and post shlokas come from.

    There seems to be a Padma PurAN version, because the Mahabharat version does not have the PArvati - Shankar conversation (and Shri RAma RAma RAmeti) that the Shri VaishNavas generally chant post-VS, nor does my booklet have the BG shloka that is appended.

    The Shri VaishNava generally have a different set of shlokas in the post - VS (from what I have -- which I have also posted in pieces on another thread) but most of these shloka at least have a source
    a) Mahabharat
    b) Padma PurAN
    c) Bhagwad GeetA
    d) BhAgwat PurAN (kAyena vAchA.... SB 11)

    However, I am yet to find the source of this specific shloka that VirajAji has brought up. Typically chanted 3 times after the core VS and before the post-VS (Mahabharat) shlokas begin.
    It is beautiful in any case.

    Smaranam ji and Ram ji,

    Thank you again for the clarifications. Smaranam ji, I am not very sure I understood the linguistic details in your kind reply, however I am going to pronounce shArngI and shaNgI with 'sh' sound like Shyamsundar, as you said.

    Ram ji, will listen Smt. M.S.S's chanting. Thank you.

    You are welcome Virajaji. Don't mean to bug you but it is ShankhI not Shangi.
    ShankhI = One Who holds the [pAnchajanya] Shankha (conch)

    Ofcourse! I overlooked this detail from your previous reply, sorry Smaranam ji!

    Thanks for correcting me.
