The Stava comprises of twelve (dvAdasha)
shlokas, with each sequential shloka
beginning with the respective
syllable (akShara) of the 12-syllabled
(dvAdashAkSharI) mantra of Sri Vishnu i.e.##
|| OM namo bhagavate vAsudevAya || 
(1\-OM, 2\-na, 3\-mo, 4\-bha, 5\-ga, 6\-va,
    7\-te, 8\-vA, 9\-su, 10\-de, 11\-vA, 12–ya)##

The shlokas have been renumbered for
convenience of readers.
