Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 537. Kritaantakrit -He is the destroyer of the " creation. " He is the Creator, in our subjective life, of the inactive (taamasa) and positive (saattvic and raajasa) vaasanaas- the sins and the merits. When the merits are more, the Lord provides a heaven for them to exist and when the sins are more, they move into the lower wombs, where sin-vaasanaas, too, get exhausted. An individual seeker when he exhausts all the above vaasanaas, rises to the realm of the Self and gets totally identified with the Self. Therefore, Sri Narayana is that State Divine, wherein all created vaasanaas (Krita) get destroyed (Anta). Thus, the end (Anta) of the vaasanaas (Krita) is called " total liberation " (Kritaantam). He who is the giver of the' krita', Him- self is the giver of " total liberation " (Kritaanta-krit)…. We find it also interpreted to mean that the Lord is one who has destroyed (Krindanam) Lord Death (Kritaanta) himself. One who is the destroyer' Kritaanta', in this sense we can take this term as meaning the Lord who has taken the form of Rudra, the Destroyer-Lord Siva.
