This is the namavali that begins “Om Anjaneyaya namah, Om Mahaviraya namah, Om Hanumate namah”; it is also called the Shrimad Anjaneya Ashtottara Shatanamavali. Other 108-name lists of Hanuman are printed too, for example one beginning “Hanumate, Anjanaputraya, Vayusunave, Mahabalaya…” and another beginning “Anjanigarbhasambhutaya, Vayuputraya, Chiranjivine…”; those are different lists. The sources of this list read some names differently. This page gives, for each name, the reading found in most of the sources checked. The sanskritdocuments.org namavali and the stotram text on stotram.lalitaalaalitah.com differ at these places: name 11 “Paravidyaparihartre”, 23 “Sarvayantratmikaya”, 44 “Kesarisunave”, 45 “Sitashokanivaranaya”, 74 “Vardhimainakapujitaya” (short a), 78 “Mahiravanamardanaya”, 89 “Dhritavrataya”, 91 “Harirmarkatamarkataya”, 95 “Shatakanthamadapahaya” (the sanskritdocuments.org namavali: “Dashakanthamadapahaya”), 102 “…brahmastravinivartakaya” and 104 “Sharapanjarahelakaya”. That namavali also has 15 “Sarvagrahavinashakaya” and 103 “Parthadhvajagrasamvasaya”. The stotram text on sanskritdocuments.org has “Sanchaladvala…” at 34 and ends with “Sitasameta Shri Ramabhadra Puja Dhurandharah”. Drik Panchang has “Ramachudamanipradayakaya” at 71. No name is repeated. The 21 verses of the stotram give the same 108 names in the same order, so the count is not in doubt; some websites split long names and count 111. On sanskritdocuments.org the stotram’s heading says “kalikarahasyatah” (from the Kalika Rahasya); the closing lines (colophons) of the sources checked name no text, and we have not seen that text ourselves.
