The Significance of ‘nArAyaNanAya’

---

Swami Desikan summarizes all these points in a beautiful Tamil verse:

“yAthAmivaiyanaitthum padaitthEnthum iRaiyavanumAik

kOthAm kuNangaLuDan kuRukAtha guNatthanumAi

mAthApithAvena mannuRavAik kathiyenna ninRAn

pOthAr thirvuDan ponnaruL pootthanam puNNiyanE.â€

 

Meaning:

 

“pOthAr thirvuDan†-- Along with SrI Who resides in flower;

“ponnaruL poottha†– full of great compassion;

“nam puNNiyan†– Our Lord Who appears to be the very personification of

our good deeds;

“padaitthEnthum iRaiyavanumAi†– Remains the Lord by creating and

protecting;

“yAthAmivaiyanaitthum†– All these sentient beings and non-sentient things

“kOthAm kuNangaLuDan kuRukAtha guNatthanumAi†-- Having all the auspicious

qualities without a trace of any bad quality;

“mAthApithAvena mannuRavAi†– Being a strong relative like Mother or

Father;

“kathiyenna ninRAn†– Stands as the goal.

The Lord is known through the name, ‘nArayaNa’ as the One Who, accompanied

by Sri, is full of compassion; is the very personification of our good deeds; is

the Creator, the Protector and the Ruler of everything, both sentient beings and

non-sentient things; is without any trace of any of the bad qualities but full

of auspicious qualities; remains a close relative like a mother and a father;

and is the ultimate goal to be attained.
