Two of the names in Vishnusahasranama that refer to Shiva are Shiva (names # 27 and # 600 in Advaitin Adi Shankara's commentary) itself, Shambhu (name # 38), Ishanah (name #6 4), and Rudra (name # 114). Adi Sankara of Advaita Vedanta asserts that the deity Vishnu is Brahman itself (not just an aspect of Brahmam). Again, he notes that only Hari (Vishnu) is eulogized by names such as Shiva, a position consistent with interpretations of the Srivaishnavite commentator Parasara Bhattar. Parasara Bhattar had interpreted Shiva to mean a quality of Vishnu, such as One who bestows auspiciousness..
