śrī nārāyaṇāṣṭottaraśatanāma stotram

A hundred and eight names of Narayana in twenty verses, and the form is a repetition rather than a list: the name Narayana itself opens all four quarters of every verse, so that each of the other names arrives already attached to it. To Narayana the ornament of the ornament of the gods, to Narayana the cause of all continuance, to Narayana the warder-off of the fear of becoming, to Narayana the source — salutation and salutation again. Among the names carried in that way are the crusher of the ten-necked one, the one borne by Vinata's son, and the wearer of the Kaustubha gem. The last verse promises that those who keep the hundred and eight soft names in mind reach Narayana with nothing standing between.
