Vishnu Sahasranama stotra marks the end of Kurukshetra war.....

Vishnu Sahasranama stotra is composed by Veda Vyasa and occurs during the Anusasana Parvan (Section 149, verses 14 to 120) phase of the Mahabharatha. While the Srimad Bhagavad Gita signals the beginning of the Kurukshetra war, Sahasranama stotra marks the end of the war. The stotra begins when Bheeshma Pitamaha lies on the bed of arrows waiting for his time to depart. Yudhishtira approaches Bheeshma and asks him six questions, which any person, who seeks to know the true meaning of God, would ask. Instead of propounding his own theory on what he thinks about God and the means to attain god, Yudhishtira wisely asks the knowledgeable Bheeshma. The whole Sahasranama Stotra from beginning to end is a conversation between Yudhishtira, Bhishma and the narration of the conversation by Sanjaya to Dhirthirashtra (with some quotes from Arjuna and Krishna)

The verses and their meaning of the next few slokas of the SHRI VISHNU SAHASRA NAAMA PEETIKA are as below:

Sri vaisambayana said

Hearing about all the “dharma-s” in their entirety and about those sacred acts that destroy sins, in various ways, Yudhisthra again addressed the son of Shanthanu (Bhisma)

Shri yudisthra said

Who is the one deity in the world? What are the sole and the supreme goal of human life? Whom should men praise and worship to attain auspicious communications?

Which ‘dharma’ do you regard as the supreme one?By reciting which hymn is mankind
freed from bonds of worldly life.(Samsara)that consists of the cycle of births and deaths?
Shri Bhisma said 
The man who is ever engaged in praising and propitiating, the lord of the universe, who is
the god of gods, the infinite and the Supreme Being, with the thousand names
(goes beyond grief of all kinds.)

By always, devoutly worshipping that imperishable, ‘Purusa”. By meditating on him, by praising him and by bowing down before him, the worshipper transcends all grief.
