This is the list printed as the “Shri Krishna Ashtottara Shatanamavali” by Drik Panchang and sanskritdocuments.org (Shri Krishnaya, Kamalanathaya, Vasudevaya, Sanatanaya…); the names follow the order of the Krishna Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram. Other lists carry the same title, such as the “Premamrita Rasayana” list (Shri Krishnaya, Krishnendiranandaya, Govindaya…) and the list from the Narayaniya Mahatmya (Golokanathaya, Govindaya, Gopikajanavallabhaya…); the 108 names of Gopala (Gopalaya, Gopataye, Goptre…) are a separate list too. Count: taking every name found in these sources separately gives 109. Here, as on sanskritdocuments, “Avyakta” and “Gitamritamahodadhi” are counted as one name (93); Drik Panchang counts them as two and leaves out the last name, “Paratparaya”, so our names 94–107 are numbered 95–108 there. Some lists leave out “Tamalashyamalakritaye” (38), and one printed book (read through OCR) counts “Tribhangi-Madhurakriti” as one name. Variant readings: 1–2 “Krishnaya” (without “Shri”) and “Kamalnathaya” (kamala with a short a, कमलनाथाय) on some websites and booklets; 11 “…Shankhambujayudhaya”; 24 “Navanitanavaharaya” or “Navanitalavaharine”; 31 “Govidampataye” (also the reading of the stotram); 34 “Dhenukasuramardanaya”; 43 “Parasmai Jyotishe”; 64 “Kubjakrishtambaradharaya”, meaning the one whose upper cloth Kubja drew (the episode of Bhagavata Purana 10.42.9); 83 “Jishnave”; 97 “Danavendravinashanaya”; 103 “Tirthapadaya”; 106 “Sarvabhutatmakaya”; 108 “Paratparasmai”. Texts of the stotram also read “Vatsapalanasanchari” in place of 32–33 and “Bakarir Banabahukrit” in place of 89.
