Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
महर्षिः कपिलाचार्यः कृतज्ञो मेदिनीपतिः। त्रिपदस्त्रिदशाध्यक्षो महाशृङ्गः कृतान्तकृत्॥५७॥
He is maharṣiḥ – the great seer of divine truth; khapilāchāryaḥ – the ancient sage Kapila, teacher of Sāṁkhya philosophy; kṛtajnaḥ – ever grateful and mindful of those who serve Him; and mēdinīpatiḥ – the true Lord and protector of the Earth. He is tripadaḥ – the one who took three great strides as Trivikrama to reclaim the worlds; tridaśādhyakṣaḥ – the overseer of the thirty-three gods; mahāśṛṅgaḥ – the mighty-horned one, referring to His form as Matsya (the fish) with a great horn; and kṛtāntakṛt – the one who brings about the end of time, dissolving all creation at will.
