श्री अनन्त पद्मनाभ अष्टोत्तर शत नामावलि
(Shri Ananta Padmanabha Ashtottara Shatanamavali)
Also known as om padmanabhaya namah
This sacred text constitutes one hundred and eight names of Lord Ananta Padmanabha, an eternal form of Lord Vishnu. Originating from the Puranic traditions, this namavali serves as a meditative tool for devotees to invoke the divine attributes of the Lord who reclines on the serpent Ananta. Chanting these names is believed to bestow immense peace, spiritual purification, and material prosperity. It is particularly significant during the Ananta Chaturdashi vrata, where practitioners seek divine protection and liberation by focusing on the cosmic form of the Lord, thereby aligning their consciousness with eternal truth.
