It is called the Dwadasakshari Mantra or simply Dwadasakshari, meaning the “twelve-syllable” mantra dedicated to Vishnu and Lord Krishna both.

It has two traditions—Tantric and Puranic.

In the Tantric Tradition, the Rishi of the Mantra is Prajapati;
in the Puranic Tradition the Rishi is Narada.

Both, however, say it is the Supreme Vishnu Mantra.
