The names of the Lord, the best of beings, that describe His wonderful attributes are being narrated now for benefit of the audience. Sages throughout the ages recited these names with devotion and fervour. Doing so will help one lead a happy and contended life.
These thousand names were composed by the great sage Vyasa, who also compiled the Vedas, and the names are organised using the Anushtup meter in praise of the Lord, son of Devaki.
