  Title: List of titles and names of Krishna
  Passage: Krishna ( ; Sanskrit: कृष्ण , "Kṛṣṇa " in IAST, pronounced ] ) is a Hindu deity, worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism in a variety of different perspectives.  He is arguably one of the most enigmatic figures in World prehistory and mythology.  Historically, Krishna as Vasudeva Govinda Krishna Shauri of the Vrishnis was the monarch of Dwaraka, a submerged island-state off coast modern Gujarat, India.  In the Hindu Pantheon Krishna is recognized as "the complete and eighth avatar of the God Vishnu" or as the Supreme God "swayam bhagwan" (supreme personality of godhead) in his own right.  Krishna is one of the most widely revered and popular of all Hindu deities.  As one of the most popular of all Hindu deities, Krishna has absorbed many regionally significant deities such as Jagannatha in Odisha or Vithoba in Maharashtra.  Srimad Bhagavatam names Krishna's eternal abode as "Goloka".  He is often described as a child, an infant eating butter, a toddler being tied to a mortar (Damodara) by his Mother, a young boy playing a flute as in the "Bhagavata Purana" (a.k.a. Srimad Bhagavatam),an adolescent cowherd tending to cows, a young man along with Radha (Rādhārānī ), a householder romancing any of his multiple wives, a king dispensing royal duties, a diplomat initiating both war and peace for greater good, as a middle-aged friend and charioteer to Arjuna or as an elder giving direction and guidance to Arjuna in the form of Spiritual discourse as in the "Bhagavad Gita".  In Bagwat Gita (4:13) Krishna says, "Chatur varnyam maya srishtam" meaning that Krishna himself created the caste system (varnashrama dharma). The stories of Krishna appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions.  They portray him in various perspectives: a lovable infant, a god-child, a prankster, a cowherd, a model lover, a divine hero, a Diplomat, a King, a Kingmaker, a selfless friend, a philosopher and the Supreme Being swayam bhagwan.  The principal scriptures discussing Krishna's story are the "Mahabharata", the "Harivamsa", the "Bhagavata Purana", and the "Vishnu Purana".  The "Vishnu Sahasranama", the list of Vishnu's thousand names also includes many of the above-mentioned names including Sri Krishna.

  Title: Enlil
  Passage: Enlil (Sumerian: EN. LÍL , "Lord Storm") was the ancient Mesopotamian god of wind, air, earth, and storms.  He is first attested as the chief deity of the Sumerian pantheon, but he was later worshipped by the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hurrians.  Enlil's primary center of worship was the Ekur temple in the city of Nippur, which was believed to have been built by Enlil himself and was regarded as the "mooring-rope" of heaven and earth.  He himself was believed to be so holy that not even the other gods could look upon him.  Enlil rose to prominence during the twenty-fourth century BC with the rise of Nippur.  His cult fell into decline after Nippur was sacked by the Elamites in 1230 BC and he was eventually supplanted as the chief god of the Mesopotamian pantheon by the Babylonian national god Marduk.
