*How Vishnu Sahasranamam came in written form?*
Once way back in 1940s someone was having an interview with Maha Periyavaa. That gentleman recorded the interview in a Tape recorder. Periyavaa then posed a question.
"Does anyone know which is the oldest known tape recorder?"
Nobody was able to answer. Then Maha Periyavaa asked another question.
"How did Vishnu sahasranamam comes to us?" Everyone said Bheeshma gave. All agreed. Then Maha Periyavaa posed another query ."when all were listening who took notes at kurukshetra?"
Again silence. Maha Periyavaa started replying to all. When Bheeshma was glorifying Krishna with sahasranama, everyone was looking at him including Krishna n Vysa. After he finished 1000 Namas allowed opened their eyes. First to react was Yudhistirar. He said pithamaha chanted 1000 glorious names of Vasudeva. Everyone listened but nobody bothered to note down the sequence which is lost. Then all prayed to Krishna n asked him. As usual he said I also listened like you what to do. Then all prayed to Krishna how to get this. Then Krishna said. It could only be done by Sahadeva n vyasa will write.

Everyone asked how Sahadeva. Krishna replied.
Sahadeva is the only one amongst us wearing SUTHA SPADIKAM. If he prays to Shiva n do dhyan he can convert the SPADIKA into waves of sound and vyasa can write it. Then both sat in the same place under Bheeshma n Sahadeva Started the dhyan to get the sound waves from Spadika.
The nature of Spadika is that it will capture sounds in calm environment which could get back with proper dhyan of Maheswara who is Swethambara n Spadika. So world's earliest tape recorder is this Spadika which gave us this wonderful Vishnu sahasranama. when Maha Periyavaa explained this all were stunned. From the Spadika recording the grantha came to us thru vyasa.
