Si Vishnu (IAST viṣṇu, Devanagari विष्णु), (honoripiko: Bhagavan Vishnu), ay ang Supremong Diyos sa tradisyong Vaishnavite Hinduismo. Ang mga Smartang tagasunod ng Adi Shankara, gaya ng iba, ay sinasamba si Vishnu bilang isa sa mga limang pangunahing anyo ng Diyos,[1] at ang kanyang katayuang supremo ay sinasabi sa mga sagradong tekstong Hindu gaya ng Yajurveda, Rigveda at ang Bhagavad Gita.[2][3][4][5][6]

  6. Due to differences in recensions the verses of the Gita may be numbered in the full text of the Mahabharata as chapters 6.25 – 42. (see: Sastras studies) or as chapters 6.23-40 (The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI) electronic edition. Electronic text (C) Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune, India, 1999.) According to the recension of the Gita commented on by Shankaracharya, the number of verses is 700, but there is evidence to show that old manuscripts had 745 verses.(Gambhiranda (1997), p. xvii.)
