Vishnu Sahasranama — Shloka 57

The great sage; He who is the supreme rishi and the source of all sacred knowledge and revelation

The teacher Kapila; He who incarnated as the sage Kapila, the founder of the Sankhya philosophy

He who knows all that has been done; the grateful Lord who remembers even the smallest offering of His devotees

The Lord of the earth; the sovereign protector and ruler of the entire terrestrial world

He who has three strides; the Vamana who encompassed the three realms, or He who is reached by three steps of knowledge

The overlord of the thirty-three devas; the supreme presiding deity of all celestial beings

He with the great horn; the Matsya avatara who bore a magnificent horn, or the supreme cosmic peak

He who destroys even death; the Lord who puts an end to Yama's power and overcomes the finality of death itself
