There are Sahasranāmas for many gods such as Shiva, Ganesha, Shakti, and others. But the Vishnu Sahasranāma is popular among common Hindus, and a major part of prayer for devout Vaishnavas, or followers of Vishnu. While Vaishanvas venerate other deities, they believe that the universe, including the other divinities such as Shiva and Devi, is ultimately a manifestation of the Supreme Lord Vishnu. Despite the existence of other sahasranamas of other demi gods, referring a sahasranama as The Sahasranama, generally refers to the Vishnu Sahasranama alone, thereby indicating its wide popularity and use.
