If you recite Vishnu Sahasranama (VS), you recite all Hindu Gods’ names . Many people who recite VS do not realise that they recite the names of Shiva, Skanda, Ganesa, Sastha, Goddess Durga, Lakshmi, all Vedic Gods and many others.
All the Avatars of Vishnu including Rama, Krishna, Parasurama (Halayudha), Vamana, Narasimha are in the VS.

Vrsakapi
This is a Vedic deity with lot of funny interpretations such as sexy monkey etc by half -baked Western Indologists. Since it is in the Sahasranama it is as old as Vedic literature.
Sipivishta
Another Vedic deity. Names of Vedic deities are found only in this hymn. That proves that VS is the oldest.
Margo (Way)- I am the Way.(Bible copied it from Hindu scriptures)
Indra- Vedic God Indra comes in words such as Mahendra, Kapindra, Upendra in many places.

Shankara’s Commentary
Shankara gives different meanings for the above words. He quotes from the Upanishads to justify his interpretation.

Colours in VS
It is interesting to see Colours in VS. it explodes the White’s myth of White Aryan and Brownish black Dravidians.
Hindus worship black skinned Gods and White skinned Gods . They also worship bearded and moustached Gods and completely Shaven Gods without any difference. Only when the ‘Divide and Rule’ cunning fellows started interpreting our scriptures, such differences are known to us. They divided Shiva into two as Vedic Rudra and Later Shiva, Vedic Kartikeya and later Tamil Muruga. But the people who wrote Tamil and Sanskrit Hymns never said anything like that.
Following colours found in VS also expose the cunningness of Western Indologists.
Havir-Harih – Word No.359-
Shankara in his commentary says, Hari can mean one who is blue in complexion. We know Krishna means black.
Rohitah –Word No.364- one who assumes at His will a body that is Rohita/red in complexion.
English word Red itself came from Rudra, Rohita.
Krishna – Word No.57-since he was utter black, he was called Mr. Black.
Suvarnavarna – Word No.737—golden coloured
Suvarnabinda- Word No.800- God with golden parts
God has no specific colour or form. He can take any colour or form at His will.
Kapilah- Word No.898- a sub terranean fire in the ocean is Kapila , light red in colour. Being identified with that fire, the lord is here denoted by the colour of that fire, according to Shankara. It is also greyish black.
Adityah – Word No.39- The golden-hued person in the sun’s orb.
