A question related to SrI vishNu sahasra nAmam.

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavata-s:

 

I am just completing the write-up for the 700th nAma of SrI vishNu sahasra

nAmam, and have a question, on which I would like your advice. I notice that

both SrI Samkara and SrI BhaTTar conclude the vyAkhyAnam for each 100 nAma-s

with a statement such as "Thus ends the seventh hundred names" - for example,

 

"iti SrI harita kula tilaka SrIvatsA'nka miSra sUnoh SrIra'ngarAja divyA`jnA

labdha SrI parASara bhaTTa apara nAmadeyasya SrI ra'nganAthasya kRtau SrImad

vishNu sahasra nAma vivaraNe bhagavadguNa darpaNe saptamam Satakam samAptam".

 

I would like to know the significance for this statement at the conclusion of

each of the "hundred nAma-s". I know this is similar to the decads of the

AzhvArs. Have our pUrvAcArya-s given us any interpretation for the

importance/significance of this?
