The Reclining Vishnu is a name for many statues of the Hindu god Vishnu. One such statue, more commonly known as the Sleeping Vishnu or Jalakshayan Narayan,[1] appears in the DOS versions of Mario is Missing!. Koopa Troopas have stolen it from the pool in Budhanilkantha Temple, where it normally floats. When Luigi visits Kathmandu, he must return it to the temple's information booth.
