Vishnu Sahasranama — Shloka 17

The younger brother of Indra; Vamana who appeared as Aditi's son to reclaim the heavens

The dwarf incarnation; He who appeared small but measured the three worlds with His strides

The tall and lofty one; He who grew to cosmic proportions from His Vamana form

He whose actions are never in vain; the infallible one whose every deed bears fruit

The pure one; He who purifies all who remember, praise, or worship Him

He of immense strength; the one possessed of infinite energy and power

He who surpasses Indra; the one who transcends the king of the gods in power and glory

He who gathers and holds all together; the force that binds the cosmos in unity

He who is creation itself; the power of projection that brings the universe into being

He who is self-sustaining; the one who supports Himself by His own power without any aid

He who is the cosmic law and discipline; the regulating principle governing all existence

He who controls and restrains; the inner controller who governs all beings from within
