THE BEST WAY TO LEARN ANY SUKTAM ON THE GO... "VEDHA PATASHALA SERIES"
The Narayana Sukta is a hymn in Yajurveda, in praise of Lord Vishnu, which is one of the most important hymns in the Vedic rituals. Narayana, in Hinduism, is considered as thousand-headed one, thousand-eyed, and thousand-limbed and this hymn is sung to worship Narayana, the universal Self which is identified with the Trimurti, the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Some commentators see it as a mystical appendix to the Purusha sukta.
Be blessed to recite this very vedic suktam.

2) If you see a horizontal line below a letter, you have to drop the pitch – anudaata
3) If you see a vertical line above a letter, you have to raise the pitch – swarita .
4) If you see a double vertical line above a letter, you to raise and the pitch and stretch it – deergha swarita .
