| Once this is borne in mind, the unity of the denotation of the various names,
in spite of diversity in connotation, will become clear. The cumulative significance of the one-thousand names is that the Godhead which is inexhaustible in excellence and
splendor is one. Godhead does not become different simply because it is assigned different names. I have already discussed in different contexts, the signification of some of the names in the Visnu-sahasranama. I shall now proceed to consider some selected names under various categories. First come the names of Visnu -Visnu in the sense in which the Agamas and the Puranas speak of Him. In the Amarakosa, the following forty-six names of Visnu are given: visnuh-narayanah krsno vaikuntho vistarasravah kesah madhavah svabhuh govindo garudadhvajah, visvakseno janardanah. cakrapanis-caturbhujah, vasudevas-trivikramah devakinandanah saurih sripatih purusottamah kamsaratir-adhoksajah |
