I have been looking for meaning of the sloka -- "Shuklambaradaram Vishnum shashivarnam............." As I can deduce nowhere in this sloka there is mention of Vinayaka, while there is a mention of Lord Vishnu. One of my acquintances (who is a purohit) also told me that this sloka is actually addressed to Lord Vishnu. If this is for Vinayaka, then do we have any such sloka for Lord Vishwaksena, which is chanted before starting any auspicious deeds.
