I am in search of an important shloka which is a part of Mahabharata (13th chapter, Anushasana Parva) after Vishnu Sahasranamam and the shloka is about praising rishis, munis, raja rishis, etc., to get wealth, health, success etc.
For reference, please see the link, http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m13 and I need the shloka in English but not the translation.
The shloka starts with:
Namo Vasishtaaya Maha vrataaya
I think you are looking for these set of verses from Anuśāsana Parva. These appear to be from the Southern Recension of Mahābhārata (13.255) and they didn't make it to the Critical Edition of Mahābhārata.

Here is the sloka by Bhishma,
Namo vashistaya mahantaya, Parasara vedanidhi namaste ! Namostvanantaya mahoragaya, Namosthu siddhebya ihakshebhya: !!
Namostvrishibya paramam paresham Deveshu devam varadam varaanaam !
Sahasraseershaye namah sivaaya Sahasranamaya Janardhanaya!!
Hope this is what you were looking for.
