648. Kesavah -Generally it is meant to describe Lord Krishna as " One Who has

long hairs. " But Kesas are the rays of the Lord that illumine the Sun, Moon and

such other effulgent things of the Cosmos. " The rays of mine that illumine (the

Sun, etc.) are called Kesas. Therefore. the wise Brahmins call Me, Kesava. "

Also' Ka' means Brahmaa, the Creator and `Eesa' means Siva, the Destroyer. Both

of them have sprung from Vishnu, the Preserver, hence He is called Kesavah.
