'In Sanskrut language there was a custom of giving multiple names to animals, objects etc. E.g. Ox has more than 60 names like balad, vrushabh, gonath etc.; elephant has more than 100 names like gaja, kunjar, hastin, dantin, vaaranetc.; lion has more than 80 names like vanaraj, kesarin, mrugendra, shardul; water has synonyms like jala, jivan, udak, paya, toya, aap; gold has synonyms like swarna, kanchan, hem, kanak, hiranya, etc'. Many people have memorized 12 names of Sun deity, 1000 names of Lord Vishnu and 1000 names of Lord Ganesh. Each of these Names does carry a special characteristic of the particular deity.
