Here Adiyen would like add a few remarks.

 

4) AanandAvahatwam means ability to cause Aananda or joy to the devotees.

That is what Nrusimhar caused in all the devas and rishis by appearing

suddenly to kill Hiranya. (Aavaha = creating or producing)

 

5) Inakotisankaashatwam - Ina is Soorya or The Sun. That is nrusimhar has

the effulgence of a crore of Suns. blinding the eyes of viewers.

 

9) Agatita Gadana saamarthya - Actual word is aGhatitha Ghatanaa

saamarthyam - which is the ability to make something happen, that has

not happened before, that has been unprecedented. Never had He come out of

a pillar before. That He made possible now.

 

10) Sathya yEva Phalapradatwam - Actually it is - sadya Eva phalapradatwam

that is capable of giving fruit immediately (sadya: like in sadyOjaata) on

the spot.

 

There is another great sloka on Ahobila nrisimhar

 

ahO veeryam ahO Sauryam ahO bAhuparAkramam!

nArasimham param deivam ahO balam ahO balam!

Dear Sri Ramanuja :

 

It is most welcome that you added the corrections

in intrepretations for four of the 12 attributes

of BahgavAN narasimhan . I welcome your corrections .

Any time in future, please feel free to catch any

mistakes .Thanks in advance.

 

I was distracted by the derivative meanings and

lost sight of the literal meanings here.

 

Additional comments on the four items:

 

(4) AanandhAvahathvam : Yes," Aavaha " means to invoke

or produce or create or bring forth. We say Sriman NaarAyaNam

aavAhayAmi.Sri Sooktham passages are other

instances (e.g)., ThAmm ma aavaha jaathaVedhO

LakshmIm-anapagaminIm , SooryAm HirNmayeem LakshmIm

JaathavEdhO ma Aavaha".

 

In addition to the time of His avathAram , even today

the darsana SoubhAgyam of MalOlan produces in us

waves of aanandham/bliss in us.

 

(5) Ina Koti sankAsathvam : Yes, Ina refers to Sooryan.

Saint ThyagarAja addresses Lord Ramachandran as "Ina

Kula TilakA " Back of my mind , I had the Vedic

word , Yenam or Yenasam (Agam/Paapam )meaning sins in

the back of my mind , when I translated and rushed

to the non-literal translation . You are absolutely

right in your correction. My apologies.

 

(9) Aghatitha GhatanA SaamArhtyam : Swamy NammAzhwAr's

ThiruvAimozhi (VI.3) on Sri ThiruviNNagarappan is all about

the eulogy to this unique saamarthyam of the Lord .

Here Swamy NammAzhwAr pays tribute to the Lord's

saamarthyam in being inside polar opposites . I stay

with this view .

 

(10) The mix up betwen Sadhya and Sathya was unfortunate.

Thanks for pointing it out. Lord NarasimhA's aavirbhAvam

is SadhyOjjAtham indeed !

 

I welcome any comments/corrections that you make

and request you to make them. Thanks again ,

V.Sadagopan
