Upanishad says, anthrbahiSca thath sarvam vyaapya naaraayaNaH sThithaH - Narayamansuktam 26. Sarvah- S as in SivaH Removes evil from the world which is His sarira. Svasarirabhoothaanaam asubhamapi Srnaathi. He is also the annihilator, srnaathi ithi Sarvah hinasthi sarvaah prajaah samhaarasamaye, annihilates all beings at the time of Pralaya. This is the reason the word is used to denote Rudra , the annihilator. 27. Sivah He is auspicious, Shubhaavahah. He is pure being not contaminated by the three gunas that constitute the universe, nisthrygunyathayaa . Sudhdhathvaath sivah. He is also Siva as `Seeng' means sleeping, Sethe ithi sivah, and He is the Supreme self, who is unknown to the worldly and hence appears to be sleeping. He is also called siva as He eradicates evil. Samyathe anena kaSmalm ithi sivah 28. Sthaanuh Firm and steady, sthira He stands, thishtathi and hence He is sthaanuh. He stands firmly to grace His devotees, dhrdaanugrahah. Just as the branches and the leaves of a tree moves but the trunk remains unmoved the Lord is the staunch support of this world of moving objects. 29. Bhoothaadhih He is the ultimate cause of all beings, bhoothaanaam aadhih, from whom all emenate. 30. nidhih, avyayah Nidhi means abode or receptacle. Nischayena sarvam sarvadha aasmin nidheeyatha ithi nidhih, sa eva avyayah, everything is deposited in this always and it is immutable, avyayah. The Lord is the permanent abode of all beings, the safe deposit for His devotees. Swami Desika says in his Vairaagyapanchakam, naasthi pithraarjitham kimchit na mayaa kimchidhaarjitham asthi me hasthisailaagre vasthu paithaamaham dhanam, `I do not have any ancestral wealth nor have I earned any, but I do have a treasure at the top of the hasthisaila which is my heritage, ` meaning the Lord Varadharaja of Athigiri, Kaancheepuram. To the devotees the Lord is the greatest wealth more than which they do not desire anything else. We can recall here the words of Thyagaraja who said, ` nidhitsalasukhamaa raamuni sannidhi sevaa sukhamaa nijamuka palgu manasa' He is also a nidhi in the sense that everything is deposited in Him during the time of deluge.
