Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 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.
