Trividha Vishnu Sahasranamams

The three Sahsranama stotrams dedicated to Lord Vishnu are found in Padma Purana,Skanda Purana and the Mahabharata.They are together called the "Trividha Vishnu Sahasranamams".Similarly,for Shiva we have "Chaturvidha Sahsranamams" but from Agama Texts we have many more.

Anyways,the verse in question appears within the Dhyana Sloka of the Vishnu Sahasranama that is from the Anushasanika Parva of Mahabharata.

Also, as you can see from the passage given below, that Vyasa is mentioned as the Rishi of the stotram so Vyasa only is the author of those verses.


शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं

विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्ण शुभाङ्गम् ।

लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यम्

वन्दे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम् ॥
