605. Sree-dah -One who gives Sree to all His sincere and dedicated devotees. Narayana provides wealth, for all His ardent devotees. He is the River of Knowledge and Joy for all devoted hearts which are surrendered to Him.

 

606. Sreesah -The Lord of the Goddess of Wealth, Sree-Mahalakshmi. Her wealth is ‘the ability to nourish.’ Thus She gives to the striving devotee, the mighty and noble virtues, his inner wealth.

 

607. Sree-nivaasah -One who dwells and manifests in the good people. Here the word Sree is to be understood as “those who have Sree in them.” The One Who abides in purified hearts-wherein the passions and lusts have been removed and peace, joy, devotion and understanding have arrived. In such people the Self comes to shine all by Itself.

 

608. Sree-nidhih -One Who is the treasure- house (Nidhih) of Sree. Vishnu, being the All-Full and Perfect, all glories draw themselves from Him alone. Even Sree-Maayaa --can play Her games only when She draws Her vitality from Narayana, the Self.

 

609. Sree-bibhaavanah –“One Who is a Distributor of Sree.” Vishnu provides each, according to his merit, the wealth, both inner and outer. Sree Narayana is the Law behind actions and so He is the Dispenser of the fruits- of-actions.

 

610. Sree-dharah -Lord always carries Sree in His bosom. In short, Atman, the Self, is never divorced from Its omnipotence and All-Fullness.

 

611. Sree-karah -One Who confers Sree upon His devotees who remember Him continuously, reflect upon His nature and meditate upon His Glories.

 

612. Sreyah -Narayana is Moksha-Liberation. He is the Way and the Goal. He gives to His devotees the total liberation from all their physical passions, emotional agitations and intellectual restlessnesses.

 

613. Sreemaan –One Who possesses all Glories, Riches, Capacities and Beauties. He who is the owner of all Sree; the abode of all Its Splendour.

 

614. Lokatraya-asrayah -The Shelter for the three worlds. The Substratum for the three worlds-of-experiences (waking, dream and deep-sleep). If the Self, the Consciousness, were not in us, no experience would ever be ours. Narayana is this “objectless awareness.”
