The Gākara Ganapatya sahasranama is an eulogy of the 108 names of Vishnu in Sanskrit, dedicated to Gākara Ganapatya. The Saṁhitā is composed in the form of a collection of verses. It was originally part of a longer work by Kanyakubja Jñānadeva, who added it to the Śrībhagavadgītāsahasranama tantra, but it was later independently compiled into its own work by Karmayogi Gosvami. Several stories are recounted in this Sanskrit text that help explain how each name came to be associated with Vishnu or Krishna. One such story begins after the death of the evil Kamsa. The teenage Krishna was returning from Mathura to Gokula, when he stopped to bathe in a river. After bathing, Krishna saw a group of gopis (cow-herding girls) playing in the river and he joined them. It was while Krishna was playing with the gopis that a "sāriputra" (lit. "descended from a serpent") went down into the water and started to encircle his waist. As soon as this happened many other serpents appeared and covered him completely from all sides. He became invisible from their bites, but remained unharmed due to his divine power ("shakti"). After the serpents disappeared he reappeared, but the gopis were terrified by his terrifying appearance. They looked upon him as a fierce serpent with many heads. Krishna then embraced them with love, which calmed their fears. The story of how Krishna "became" that snake is recounted in this Sanskrit text, which says that Krishna will make himself invisible to human eyes whenever he wishes. During his life on earth he is said to have often taken the form of a snake, tiger or lion to make people afraid of him or to give them enjoyment by frightening them or playing with them. When Krishna performed such manifestations, he was said to actually transform himself into a serpent, tiger or lion. In this story, it is said that the names Gākara and Ganapatya have been given to Krishna because he saved a devotee from a serpent. The devotee's name was "Gākara", which means "the patient one". Gākara was once bitten by a serpent while walking in the forest. He then saw Krishna walking along the same path who continued to walk along the path without any fear of being harmed by the serpent. Gākara was inspired by Krishna's power and devotion to destroy his fears of the serpent. According to the Gākara Ganapatya Saṁhitā, five of Vishnu's 108 names are said to be especially powerful. These names are: (1) Nrsimha (2) Vishnu (3) Janardana (4) Hrishikesa and (5) Upendra. The Gākara Ganapatya Saṁhitā is part of the Śrībhagavadgītāsahasranama tantra, which contains 1150 Sanskrit names of Krishna in 15 chapters. It is part of ch. cfa1e77820
