VISHNU SAHASRA NAMAM - Courtesy ARUN

338. Taarah – " One who saves is called Taarah, One who saves from the

fear of re-birth and also One who is a constant protector of the

devotees and, therefore, the devotees themselves call Him as the

Saviour (Taarah).

 

These three terms indicate how Vishnu is the Absolute Protector of His

devotees. He saves us from the afflictions (Asoka) of the body and so

Subjective-sorrows (Adhyaatma). He enables us to cross the ocean of

Samsaara (Taaranah) and, therefore, He saves us from all Cosmic pains

(Adhibhootah). He saves us from the elements (Taarah), and so, He is

the Saviour from all sorrows of birth and death; this indicates all

trans-Cosmic tragedies (Aadhidaivika), meaning that Narayana can save

us from all sorrows contributed by the hand God.
