Abstract: Sahasranāma (SN) is a literary composition in which the names of a particular deity are enumerated. This is the metrical composition (almost in anuṣṭup metre) with a purpose of daily recitation. Thus we find Viṣṇusahasranāma, Lalitāsahasranāma, Śivasahasranāma are still practiced. When it is SN the number of the names listed is 1,000 (in some cases more than one thousand). Apart from SN we have the compositions entitled as Dvādaśanāma, Aṣṭottaraśatanāma, Śatanāma, Ṣoḍaśanāma, Śatapañcasannāma, Daśanāma, Aṣṭottaraśatanāma etc.
