kaalaneminihaa veerah saurih soorajanesvarah

trilokaatmaa trilokesah kesavah kesihaa harih.

 

642. Kaalaneminihaa -The slayer of the Asura, Kaalanemi. “Kaala” means ‘Time.’ The Self is the ‘destroyer of time’ as It is beyond the intellect and ‘time’ is but a concept of the intellect only.

 

643. Veerah –“The Heroic Victor.” One who is ever victorious.

 

644. Saurih -Born in the Soorasena-clan, in Jagannaath-which, in the Puranas, is called the Utkala country. Also, Sauri can indicate the One who has invincible prowess always.

 

645. Soorajanesvarah –“The Lord of the valiant.” Sri Narayana, the fountain-head of irresistible might. He is invoked by the victorious, and is the Source of strength from which even lndra and others draw their vigour.

 

646. Triloka-atmaa –“The Reality, the Self of the three worlds.” The ‘three-worlds’ are the three ‘fields of experiences’: the waking, the dream and the deep-sleep. As the Pure Consciousness, in the Light of which the waker-dreamer- sleeper comes to experience all the ‘three-worlds,’ the Self, Sri Narayana is called “The Atman of the three-worlds.”

 

647. Triloka-eesah –“The Lord of the three-worlds.” Lord is One in whose presence all activities take place; in Whose absence all activities cease. He is called the Lord, the Great Proprietor. When life, the Self, manifests in a body, all experiences take place; when life is extinct, all activities cease. Hence Lord Narayana is the Self, the spark of Existence in all creatures.

 

648. Kesavah -Generally it is meant to describe Lord Krishna as “One Who has long hairs.” But Kesas are the rays of the Lord that illumine the Sun, Moon and such other effulgent things of the Cosmos. “The rays of mine that illumine (the Sun, etc.) are called Kesas. Therefore. the wise Brahmins call Me, Kesava.” Also’ Ka’ means Brahmaa, the Creator and ‘Eesa’ means Siva, the Destroyer. Both of them have sprung from Vishnu, the Preserver, hence He is called Kesavah.

 

649. Kesihaa -One Who destroyed the Asura called Kesi.

 

650. Harih -The Lord is called “The Destroyer.” He, it is, who destroys the false values and the inner conflicts created by man in his own life and in his consequent discordant contact with the world around him. These confusions and sorrows created by man, for man in life, due to his own ignorance of his own divine nature, is called Samsaara. Lord Narayana is the Destroyer of this Samsara-sorrows in His devotees.
