Transcendental Meanings of the name of Srila Jiva Goswami (jivaka)

[Guest guest]

(1)j…v€n k€payati bh€gavat€rtha-prad€n€ndeneti j…vakaƒ:

 

"One who makes the living beings emit ecstatic sounds by supplying them with

the esoteric meaning of ®r…mad-Bh€gavatam [through his Bh€gavata-sandarbha]

is j…vaka."

 

(2) j…va-svar™pa-sambandh€bhidheya-prayojan€n k€yati varŠayat…ti j…vakaƒ:

 

"One who explains the nature of the j…va, his relation with the Lord, the

process by which he can achieve the ultimate goal of life, and also that

ultimate goal-such a person is j…vaka."

 

(3) j…vayati j…v€n kŠa-prema-prad€neneti j…vo, j…va eva j…vaka iti sv€rthe

kan:

 

"One who infuses life into living beings by giving them love of KŠa is

j…va or, equivalently, j…vaka."

 

(4) Finally, the word j…vaka may also be formed by applying to the root j…v

the suffix -aka in the sense of "blessing." In this case j…vaka means "the

person who confers blessings on the living entities."
