Sage Upamanyu continued “ Oh! Madhava, who is capable to describe the splendor and virtues of supreme Lord Shiva whose head and foot was not able to locate by Suras ?   Even though I am incapable and have limited knowledge and limited understanding in the usage of terminology I shall put an effort to describe briefly about supreme Lord Shiva who is the personification of knowledge and wisdom, with his blessings.   It is impossible to eulogize or venerate him without his grace, it was truly his blessings I could recite some of his glories, I shall describe a few of the sacred names of Supreme Lord Shiva, who is the cause of the Universe and primordial.  Oh! Krishna, kindly listen to the sacred names of Supreme Lord Shiva who is the personification of wisdom and knowledge, provider of immense boon and cause of the Universe recited by Lord Bhrama. These are a few sacred names from the ten thousand names recited by Lord Bhrama, and these are the outcome equivalent to churning to avail superior curd.  The quintessences of these sacred names are like gold from mine, honey from flowers, and ghee from butter.  These sacred names are equivalent to Chathurveda, can be understood and memorize with great effort, it washes off all the sins of the worshipper.  Oh!
