Vishnavashtakam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Here is a prayer addressed by Lord Yama to Lord
Jagannath of Puri. Since all people who visit Puri , go to the land of Vishnu,
the hell becomes completely empty. After
this prayer the Lord Jagannath assres Yama that only the blessed ones would be able to
visit his temple, The Sanskrit text of this stotra is available in http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/2182732/64351925/name/Sri+Vishnvashtakam+-+Yama+-+Brahma+Puranam.pdf
