deals elaborately with the rules for performing the worship

of Vishnu by these 1,000 names, offering flowers, such as

Thulasi, Bilva, Nandyaāvarta, Padma, Mallikaā, Jati,
ātī,
Paunnāga and Satapatra, for each name. The worship

should be performed, if not daily, at least on one's own

birthdays, eclipse days, birth constellations, the entering

of the sun from one Zodiac to another, and to ward off

tronbles, due to planets, the anger of kings, great diseases

and the troubles of enemies. This Archana may be

performed also when one requires Dharma, sons, wealth

and other desired objects.¹

190 names are repeated in this hymn; of them, 74 are repeated

twice, 14 thrice and 2 four times. I have marked them in their proper

places. In Lalita Sahasranama alone we do not find such repetition ;

this hymn is treated as "mantras" whereas all the others are

"stotras".
