In this book I will explain the meaning of 108 names of Shiva which is given in shiva-rahasya-khanda of Skanda purana. This particular hymn is considered one of the most important hymns of Shiva. We can find authentic commentaries on this hymn by many great scholars of Purana, and mantra shastra. Shiva Tatva Rahasya of Neelakantha Deekshita - a profound Shaivate scholar, a great Vaidika and a great Agama and mantra shastras scholar which is an elaborate commentary of the hymn and the other work is Shivanamakalpalata of Bhaskara Raaya - A profound Shakta and a great scholar of, puranas, Agamas and mantrashastras. The work Shivanamakalpalata is in the form of a poetic hymn rather than a commentary. The hymn shows us the meaning of each name of Shiva ashtottara shatanama stotra through each Shloka. We can also find explanations of the names of Lord Shiva in various texts, like in Mahabharata, in commentaries of Shree Rudra Prashna and commentaries of Vedas, in agamas and puranas.
