sahasranam namavali repetition

From the Bhakti List Archives

MURALI MURALI • September 17, 2002 


Sri M.G.VASUDEVAN swami  had requested to furnish the
details of  sahasranamam/ repetition of namavalis. 
Our  Alwars  have explicitly noted that  1000 namams
(names) in their Divys Prabhandam  Work. 
However as he noted,  more namams  are getting 
repeated in the sahasranamam.
 Sri Yu.Ve. P.B.A swami of Kancheepuram  had published
a book in 1975  by name   sri Vishnu sahasranamam URAI
 containing three parts. 1. main text  2. index for
the sahasranamam  and 3.simple meaning of each namams.
(based on Sri Parasara BattarÂ’s  commentary)

In this index  he notes that  85 namams  are getting
repeated twice, 12 namams  thrice and 2 namams  four
times. He had clearly noted the individual namams
according to alphabetic order. Needless to note that
each namam has a different meaning in spite of  its
repetition
 Since the total  works out 99 and it is not possible
to type the entire work here, I humbly request Sri 
M.G.VASUDEVAN SWAMI  to write to me with his
residential address so  that I can send a Xerox copy
of the subject namams list   for his reference. My 
email address is tmaadhavan@yahoo.com 
Pranams to all members.
