Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 visvabhramanakArini : causing the revolution of the universe Visva, all the BrAhmic eggs, bhramana, their creation, preservation, and destruction. The Sruti [sve. Up., VI. 1], "Some wise call it nature, some confused call it time, that by which the wheel of Brahman is revolved, is the glory of the Lord." The Bh.- gitA [XVIII. 61] also says, "All-beings which are fixed on the wheel of the universe which he causes to revolve by his mAyA" Or visva, Visnu; for the word visva is explained thus when it occures in the Visnu-sahasranAman [1s name] "causing confusion to him". This story occurs in the KAlika Pr. :"Visnu once travelling through the sky, mounted on his vehicle Garuda, passed by the Devi named KAmA residing in the NilAcala in the KAmarUpa country, without saluting her; then by the force of her anger he fell into the ocean and there he remained confused; after a long time Laksmi [his spouse] began to look for him, and hearing of this event from NArada, she appeased the Devi, by penance and freed Visnu from his confusion. Afterwards he worshipped the Devi and went to Vaikuntha. BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry. Lalitha Sahasranama with commentaries now in SS homepage.
