This is my favourite Group of the Names of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu and it is only for asuras, because bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu never suffer.
The last 2 parts (Bhaya and Aishvarya) will be in text form, because currently I have to redistribute my time to Sadhana. Possibly, later I will make the charts.
"Bhaya" (भय) means "Fear" in Sanskrit.

114. RUDRAH
As Bhagavan Shree Vishnu causes beings to cry (dhatu "RUD" - "to cry") when He destroys them at the time of involution.
Rudra may mean he confers ("RA" - "to give") good ("RUD");
or Bhagavan Shree Vishnu destroys ("DRA") the misery and its cause ("RU").
Raudra: Karma is violent, desire too is violent, so also anger is violent.
Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is Free from these 3 kinds of violences because of Him having achieved all His desires;
Bhagavan Shree Vishnu has no desire, hatred and etc.
Hence Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is called "ARAUDRAH".
228. AVARTANAH (THE TURNER)
Of the wheel of Samsara.
231. SAMPRAMARDANAH (THE CRUSHER)
By manifesting as Rudra, Death and the rest.
244. JAHNUH (THE DISINTEGRATOR)
Of men during involution, or because Bhagavan Shree Vishnu leads those devoid of devotion away from the Supreme.
357. BHIMAH (THE AWE-INSPIRING)
He whom all fear; or if the prefix "A" is added, the name becomes "ABHIMA" causing no fear to those who
follow the Righteous Path (Dharma).
948. BHIMAH (THE TERROR)
The Shruti ("Katha-Upanishad", 6.2) says: "He is a Great Fear like an uplifted Thunder-Bolt."
Because (in His Incarnations) Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is the cause of fear to asuras and others.
860. DAMAYITA (THE PUNISHER)
Of beings through Vaivasvata (Yama), kings and others.
861. DAMAH (THE PUNISHMENT)
Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is the Punishment itself inflicted on those who deserve it.
Of Samsara.
915. AKRURAH (NOT CRUEL)
Cruelty: it is a mental modification born of excessive wrath, or the internal affliction caused by it.
Because Bhagavan Shree Vishnu has obtained all desired objects and is free from every (kind) of desire, He has no anger and no cruelty.
914. SARVARIKARAH (THE MAKER OF NIGHT)
To those bound in Samsara, Atman is (dark as) night; to the wise ones Samsara is (as) night.
As Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is the Cause of these two, He is called (Maker of the night).
Lord Krishna ("Bhagavad-Gita", 2.69) says : "When it is night to all beings, then is the sage awake. When all beings are awake, then is the night of the knowing sage."
Like the colour of Badaba, the fire of final destruction.
1000. SARVAPRAHARANAYUDHAH (BHAGAVAN SHREE VISHNU IS ARMED WITH ALL KINDS OF DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS)
There is no rule to the effect that Bhagavan Shree Vishnu wields only these (the above mentioned) weapons, but it is said that He has all kinds of destructive weapons.
Although finger-nails, etc., are not usually recognised as weapons, they serve Him as weapons.
The use of the phrase "armed with all kinds of destructive weapons" at the end serves to show that Bhagavan Shree Vishnu is the Lord of all, having genuine intentions (Satya-Sankalpa).
The Shruti ("Brihad-Upanishad", 6.4.22) says : "He is the Lord of all."
Om! Prostration to Bhagavan Shree Vishnu Who is armed with all destructive weapons (Sarvapraharanayudhomnamah).
