Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration

Anuśāsana-parva 17

यदा तेनाभ्यनुज्ञात: स्तुतो वै स तदा मया । अनादिनिधनस्याहं जगद्योनेर्महात्मन:,शृणु नाम्नां च यं कृष्ण यदुक्तं पद्मययोनिना । श्रीकृष्ण! जो वरदायक, वरेण्य (सर्वश्रेष्ठ), विश्वरूप और बुद्धिमान्‌ हैं, उन भगवान्‌ शिवका पद्ययोनि ब्रह्माजीके द्वारा वर्णित नाम-संग्रह श्रवण करो ।।

vāyudeva uvāca | yadā tenābhyanujñātaḥ stuto vai sa tadā mayā | anādinidhanasyāhaṃ jagadyoner mahātmanaḥ, śṛṇu nāmnāṃ ca yaṃ kṛṣṇa yaduktaṃ padmayoninā | śrīkṛṣṇa! yo varadāyakaḥ, vareṇyaḥ (sarvaśreṣṭhaḥ), viśvarūpaḥ ca buddhimān, tādṛśasya bhagavataḥ śivasya padmayoni-brahmaṇā varṇitaṃ nāma-saṅgrahaṃ śṛṇu || daśanāma-sahasrāṇi yānyāha prapitāmahaḥ |

Vāyu nói: “Khi đã được Ngài cho phép, ta mới tán tụng Ngài. Nay, hỡi Kṛṣṇa, hãy lắng nghe: ta sẽ thuật lại tập hợp các danh hiệu của Đấng Đại Ngã—cội nguồn của thế gian, vô thủy vô chung—đúng như lời Brahmā Đấng Sinh Từ Hoa Sen đã nói. Hỡi Śrī Kṛṣṇa, hãy nghe bản danh mục của Bhagavān Śiva—bậc ban phúc, tối thắng, có hình tướng vũ trụ và trí tuệ siêu việt—do Brahmā mô tả. Đó là mười ngàn nhóm danh hiệu mà Đấng Tổ Phụ (Brahmā) đã tuyên thuyết.”

Educational Q&A

The verse frames the ethical-religious value of reverent speech: divine praise (stuti) is offered with permission and humility, and the recitation/hearing of sacred names is presented as a disciplined devotional act that orients the listener toward the eternal, all-encompassing source of the cosmos.

Vāyudeva addresses Kṛṣṇa, stating that after receiving consent he praised the deity, and now he will transmit a name-compendium of Bhagavān Śiva as originally spoken by the Lotus-born Brahmā (the Grandsire), introducing an extensive litany of Śiva’s epithets.
