What is the historical and traditional background?
Ashtottara shatanama (108-name) compilations for major deities are a well-established feature of Sanskrit devotional literature, appearing in Puranas such as the Skanda Purana and Shiva Purana, and in various Tantric collections. The Shiva Ashtottara Sata Namavali draws on the rich body of Shiva epithets that accumulated across these texts over many centuries.
