ଶ୍ରୀ ହରି ନାମମାଲା ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A garland of the names of Hari in which every verse is strung on a single letter. The first is all in ga — Govinda, the delight of Gokula, Gopala, beloved of the gopis, lifter of Govardhana, dear to the Gomati; the second all in na — Narayana, the formless, hero among men, best of men, Narasimha, lord of serpents, ender of Naraka; the tenth all in ja — Janardana, lord of the world, destroyer of the world's dullness, the son of Jamadagni, the supreme light, the one who sleeps upon the water. Nineteen verses go through the alphabet that way. The closing verse says who spoke it and what to do with it: it was uttered by Bali, king of kings, and the garland is to be kept at the throat with care.
