The addition to my Stotras and Stuti.
The version is only in Sanskrit.
The following Adi Narayana Stuti by Rishis appears in Skanda Puranam, Prabhasa Khanda, Chapter 84 as part of Adi Narayana Mahatmyam (presumably a Kshetra in Prabhasa).
Lord Shiva describes Adi Narayana Mahatmyam to Goddess Parvati in this chapter and this prayer appears as part of this.
The Uttara Pitika (which appears a few sholkas after the end of prayer) explains the benefits of worshipping Lord Adi Narayana Govinda:
One who prays Lord Adi Narayana on the Ekadashi day (i.e. chants this prayer after due worship) gets the benefit of performing Ashwamedha Yajna and enjoys sojourn in celestial abodes.
One who has the darshan of Adi Narayana Govinda with due devotion gets the benefit of donating one lakh cowns to brahmins.
One who worships Adi Narayana on the Ekadashi day which falls on a Sunday after due oblation in holy water gets relieved from the bondage of Bhava.
This prayer could be used on a daily basis to remove one’s sins and misfortunes and attain true Bhakti to Lord Narayana.
