A related theme, but which is not explicity connected to the name VishNu,
echoed by a quote due to Sri Vyasa and well known to everyone is:-

Please bear with my possibly inaccurate translation!, which, i think, is:-
"the three worlds are pervaded by the scent (spirit!) of Vasudeva,
Thou (VAsudeva) art the indweller of all beings, salutations unto Thee."
Hari Om,
srikanth
