[Guest guest]

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In this second post on Sri vishNu sahasra naamam groupings, we will see the

list of naamaas containing the common thread of reference to a numerical

number.

 

The numbers involved are

Zero - soonyam,

One - Ekam,

not one - na Ekam,

three - thri,

four - chathu,

seven - saptha,

thirty three - thri dhasa,

one hundred- satha,

one thousand - sahasra and

infinite - asankhyEya.

 

Each naamaa is a beauty and to be relished. For detailed meaning please see

Sri Krishnamacharya swamin's writings.
