ଶ୍ରୀ ଯାଜ୍ଞଵଲ୍କ୍ଯ ସହସ୍ରନାମାଵଲୀ

A thousand names of Yajnavalkya, which is a great many for a sage rather than a god, and the early ones are all about the one episode his fame rests on. He is called devoted to the Veda that is not stale, and then a treasury of the words of the Upanishad that is not stale — ayatayama, unspoiled, the epithet attached to the Shukla Yajurveda he is said to have received from the Sun after giving back what he had learned from his teacher. Another name puts him in the middle of the eighty-eight companies of sages. Around those sit the ordinary ones, ever-blissful, the son of Sunanda, dweller at the root of the ashvattha, whose form is nectar and who has no form. The list belongs with the guru and sage material rather than with the deity archanas.
