This list comes from the Shri Vighneshvara Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram, which begins “Vinayako Vighnarajo Gauriputro Ganeshvarah…”, and is called the Shri Vinayaka or Vighneshvara Ashtottara Shatanamavali. The closing verses of the stotram say that Shankara praised his son with these 108 names as he set out to slay Tripura. According to the colophon of the Brihat Stotra Ratnakara printed at Madras (1927 and 1953 editions), the stotram belongs to the Bhavishyottara Purana; the other sources checked name no Purana. A different list is also printed as “Shri Ganesha Ashtottara Shatanamavali” (for example on Drik Panchang); it begins Gajanana, Ganadhyaksha, Vighnaraja, Vinayaka, Dvaimatura, Dvimukha…. Some sites give yet another text under the name “Vinayaka Ashtottara Shatanamavali”: its first twelve names are nearly the same, but the thirteenth is “Vanipradayaka”, and later come names such as Chintamanidvipapati and Paramatma. Variants: in the stotram and namavali on sanskritdocuments.org, names 13–14 (Vanipradaya, Avyayaya) are one name, “Vanibalapradaya”, and name 101 is split into two, “Svalavanyasudhasaraya” and “Jitamanmathavigrahaya”; this page follows the 1927 print and most sources. The namavali there also splits names 38 and 81 in two and adds “Vidvatpriyaya”, so it has 111 names. Name 11: some sources read “Agnigarvachchhide”. Name 54: one source reads “Vidvatpriyaya”. Name 87: sanskritdocuments.org reads “Nagarajayajnopavitakaya”. Name 91: the sanskritdocuments.org namavali reads “Paraya”. Name 104: some lists read “Mushikavahanaya” (same meaning). Avyayaya (6, 14), Dvijapriyaya (10, 54) and Shantaya (25, 75) occur twice in the stotram itself, so they are repeated here too.
