VISHNU PADA.
The Vishnupada is a kind of hymn, of which the glory of
of the Hindu God Vishnu forms the subject. There is no fixed
rule as to the number of strains in which the pieces are to be
composed. Suradasa Babaji, a blind Hindu mendicant, who
lived in the reign of the Mogul Emperor Akbar Shah, is known
to have been the first composer of songs of this description, and
is credited with the composition of 1,25,000 hymns.
