Guest guest Posted July 21, 1995 Report Share Posted July 21, 1995 Hi, I recently came across the name "Vishvambhara". Could anybody enlighten me on the name and which form of Vishnu it refers to. Also I think there is a story which goes like this. A very devout poor brahmaNa used to regularly recite the 1000 names of Vishnu. But one day he could not afford one square meal. On that day while reciting the name "Vishwambhara", he comes to the conclusion that this name cannot be the name of Vishnu. This was because the brahmaNa's family was starving and "Vishwambhara" means one who fulfills.(Please pardon is this is wrong. I have *no* knowledge of sanskrit). So the brahmaNa wipes out this name of Vishnu and from that day there are 999 names. Could you knowledgeable people give me a clearer picture on this.
