Narayaneeyam, a poetical hymn of rare devotional fervour, is the condensation of Srimad Bhagavatam. Consisting of 1034 verses, it was composed by Narayana Bhattatiri, one of the celebrated Sanskrit poets of Kerala in the 16th century CE.

Swami Tapasyananda, who was a scholarly monk and a Vice-President of the Ramakrishna Order, has rendered a lucid and free yet faithful translation of Narayaneeyam
