ଶ୍ରୀ ଵାଗ୍ଵାଦିନୀ ସହସ୍ରନାମ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A thousand names of Sarasvatī as Vāgvādinī, she who makes speech speak, from the Bhaviṣyottara Purāṇa, and set as a conversation in which Brahmā is the questioner and Nandikeśvara the teacher — an unusual pairing, since Brahmā is Sarasvatī's own consort and is here the one asking. His question is practical: by what means is there increase and attainment for people, the destruction of every fault, and the removal of mental and bodily disease? Nandikeśvara answers that he will tell what is more secret than the secret, and calls it the destroyer of every quarrel and beloved of the world. The record keeps the full viniyoga before the names begin, and its closing verse promises something modest and specific rather than sweeping — that wherever the reciter goes his purpose is accomplished, and his return is without obstacle.
