There is a Vishnu Suukta, but I think it is from the Krishna Yajur
Veda, rather than the Rg (who knows, maybe it also appears in the
Rg). I don't know the words (I have a tape and a copy of the words
somewhere), but it ends with the Rg mantra "oM tad viShNoH paramaM
padagM ... viShNor yat paramaM padaM". I remember distinctly that the
metric pattern of this Suukta is rather complex.
