Post 21

 

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In this post we will continue to see naamaas of sree Vishnu sahasra naamam

havingthe common thread of "negativity". For explanation of the negativity

please see the previous post.

 

a. The 'a' series continued:

meaning: who has the all perfect body- he has all the angaas of vEdhaas.

Also naamaa no.818 occurring in slOkam 87.

- does not need inducement to bless devotees.

- nila - to slip. a-nila -who never slips - omniscient.

 

3. Om a sath ksharaaya nama: -- naamaa no. 481 occurring in slOkam 51

Meaning: who gives worldly miseries to wiked people.

[For sri sankara it is Om asathE nama:-- naamaa no. 479 occurring in slOkam 51

which we have already seen in previous post. Again this ksharaaya is "Om

aksharaaya nama" which we saw in 481 along with naamaa no. 17 in previous post.
