I beleive "dosha" a.k.a. "dosham" means "negative

influence" in this context...

It means defect. The Brahman is also known as niranjanA or one without any

defects.

Isn't it Nir-dhosha? Isn't Nir-dhosha different from Niranjana?

Dear Sriman Lakshmi Narasimhan,

 

We can explore the meanings of both terms. The can be used

interchangeably since they have similar meanings. However, dosha has

different meanings in different contexts of usuage.

 

In this context (atleast when compared to nir-anjanA we can see that

both have similar meaning).

 

Here is what the Cologne Sanskrit Lexicon translates Dosha as:

doSa : fault, defect, want; sin, transgression; harm, evil

consequence; disadvantage, damage, bad condition

 

As such it has different meanings to be used in dofferent contexts of

usage.

 

But let us compare it to niranjana which means free of imperfections.

Using the above meaning of defect.

 

Let us explore how defect is defined by the Merriam Webster

dictionary:

 

defect: an imperfection that impairs worth or utility

 

Hence you can see that nirdosha and niranjana can be used in one of

the many contexts interchangeably.

 

In Tirumala, right after the permission from the dwara-pAlakas are

taken, the bhattars recite "niranjanAya vidhmahE nirAbhadAya dimahi,

tannas Sriinivasa prajodayAt"
