In sanskrit it is referred in purAnAms as vyOma puri. Ie, the world of ether

space or aKAsa lOgam. "viN" in tamil means sky or cosmic space. "Nagar" in

tamil means "city" or capital or extended usage as lOgam or world.

This refers to Oppiliappan Koil near kumbakonam intamil nadu. Lord oppiliappan

is known as vyOma puri Eesan. ie. Eswaran of the entire ether space and cosmic

universe. He is addressed so to denote the thiruvikkrama avathAram during which

He conquered and took possession or title of the viN ulagam or vyOma puri which

he already owned anyway.

Nambi is the first the name of any achAryAn and the name of the Lord of thiru

naRaiyoor known as Srinivasa perumal of nAchiyAr koil near kumbakonam. He was

the achAryan for thirumangai AzhwAr as he initiated him with thirumanthiram and

pancha samakram or samAsrayEnam.

 

The name nambi in sankrit is referred as "pooraNA". ie., One who has complete

knowledge in HIMself abou the eswarathuvam. This is the reason we rever

achAryAL as perumAL's incarnation HIMself. There is a lineage of achAryALs who

had a titile connected to their name as "so and so - nambi" named after the

Lord of

nAchiyAr kOil symbolising the authority bestowed on them by the Lord to

initiate others into Srivaishnavam. This is also to denote that they are

pooraNars themselves and as well they are achAryALS themselves. The other

meaning for nambi in tamil means "one who believes in or one who has faith" and

also "one on whom our faith or belief is totally rested on for salvation". It

is derived from the tamil word "nambikkai" for belief or faith. Nambi when used

as vinaip peyar is also used to address dependancy. ie.,when we say in tamil

"Unnai nambi irukkirEN" means I depend on You for salvation. No doubt

AkinchanAs such as ours depend on achAryAs and Lord for our salvAtion.

 

 

adiyEn hopes that others will reply for the other words.

Dear Sriman Susarla : I can understand the difficulties

in following many of the postings containing special

Sanskrit and Tamil words , which lot of us use in our

postings . Here are some explanations .

When one uses VaishNava ParibhAshai ( Colloqualisms ) ,

it gets even more complicated .
