Vishnu Sahasranama — Shloka 21

He who is a ray of light; the effulgent one who shines like the luminous rays of the sun

The subduer; He who restrains and disciplines the wicked and those who stray from dharma

The divine swan; He who discriminates between the real and unreal, as a swan separates milk from water

He of beautiful wings; the one who carries souls across the ocean of samsara like the divine Garuda

The best among serpents; He who reclines on Ananta Shesha, the supreme cosmic serpent

He with a golden navel; the one from whose golden navel-lotus the universe manifests

He of excellent austerity; the one whose tapas is the most sublime and powerful

He from whose navel the cosmic lotus springs; Vishnu from whom Brahma and creation emerge

The Lord of all beings; the progenitor and supreme ruler of all creatures
