Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In this post 3 on sri vshNu sahasra naamam, we will see some Sri vishnu's

naamaas which are grammatically opposite in words and thereby the meaning,

some naamaas which are opposite in meaning only. [ may be some are directly

opposite which you can notice immediately. but in certain others due to

certain structure changes which are the specialty of the samskrith language

some naamaas may look different]
