Goddess Sri Parvathi spoke “ Oh! Lord of
the three worlds, Oh! Sarvajjya/knower of all, Oh! Parameshwara/my consort, I
would like to listen to the hundreds of glorious names of Lord Vishnu, Oh! Karunasindho/ocean of mercy, kindly narrates
to me.”
Lord Maheshwara replied “ Oh! Devi, Oh! Pranavallabhe, you have enquired about
the meritorious rewards of glorious and highly confidential hundreds of sacred
names of Lord Vishnu with utmost affection. This glorious hymn begins with chandass
– Anushtup, Paramathma – Devatha by Maheshwara Rishi.”
