Prostrations to the divine couple shrI shivA and Lord shiva, who bear a

jaTa (knotted hair), who are devoid of imperfections like old age and

death (by this other things like birth, growth, and change are also

implied), who are adored by Lord vishhNu and Lord brahma, to that

shiva-parvati I bow again and again.

 

-kanchi paramAcharya in one of the talks remarks that by saying namaH

twice, countless or infinite times is implied. When we say namo namaH

or namaste namaste, we imply that we are doing this again and again,

many many times.

 

-the name janArdana occurs in vishhNu sahasranAma. For this name shrI

shankara gives two interpretations:

 

a) One who destroys those who are wicked - janAn - durjanAn, ardayati

- hinasti (destroys).

 

b) ard also means to beg, to ask - gatau yAcane ca. janaih ardyate -

yAcyate - One who is approached by His devotees for whatever they want.

- abja means lotus, that is born in water (ap + ja). The name

abjodbhava refers to lord brahma.

 

- names of lalita sahasranAm celebrates ambaaL as vayovasthA vivarjitA

and sarvAvasthA vivarjitA. Because they are devoid of these

imperfections they are able to bestow that on their devotees as

mentioned by jarA dhvAnta ravi prabhA, janma mR^ityu jarA tapta jana

vishrAnti dAyinI, bhava rogaghnI, etc.
