244. suprsaadhaH

 

The Lord says in Gita that Prsadha is the state of peace. It happens when there is only satva in the mind and hence the word prasadha signifies sathvaguna. The Lord is pure sathva and pervades the whole universe.

 

Prasadha also means the grace of the Pord and He is called suprasadha because He showers His grace on all.Even His retribitution is for redemption.

247. viSvabhuk

 

viSvam bhunkthe paalayathi ithi- The Lord protects the world and also the real enjoyer of the universe. Gita says, `updhrshtaa anumanthaa cha bharthaa bhokthaa maheSvaraH,' The Lord is the spectator, approver , supporter and experiencer. The Lord is the experiencer becaue He is the innerself of all without whom there could be no experience.

 

`Yasya brahma cha kshathracha ubhe bhavathi odhanaH;mrthyuH yasya upasEchanam,' declares Katopanoshat.

`to whom bi ot brhamana and kshathriya become the food and the death itself is the side dish.' This refers to the time of annihilation of the universe when all beings denoted by Brahmaana and Kshathriya are the food and n mrthyu is the side dish nmeaninf that the food is taken , that is the universe is eaten up by means of death, which is described as the side dish.
