In the yudhdha kANda of SrImath rAmAyaNam, rAvaNa exclaims thus: \u201cAlas! I could lift the himalayas by hand. I could even lift the mighty mandhara mountain by hand! Why just that, I could even lift the three worlds with all dhEvas populating it. But now I am unable to lift this younger brother of bharatha (referring to lakshmaNa)!\u201d<\/p>\n Alternately, the word \u2018aya:\u2019 (\u0905\u092f\u0903) refers to the deeds or entities that confer auspiciousness. Thus, the word \u2018anaya:\u2019 also means that bhagavAn is the only one who can confer auspiciousness in this world. There is no other entity for it.<\/p>\n This is as confirmed by the sages in SrImath rAmAyanam thus: \u201cWe are all ruled by this SrI rAma, and thus we have attained bountiful fruits for all our auspicious desires\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: The one who cannot be lead by his oppressors is called \u2018anaya:\u2019. Alternately, the only one who is capable of conferring auspiciousness (with no alternate) is called \u2018anaya:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0905\u0938\u0941\u0939\u0943\u0926\u094d\u092d\u093f\u0930\u094d\u0928\u092f\u094a \u092f\u0938\u094d\u092f \u0928\u093e\u0938\u094d\u0924\u0940\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0928\u092f \u0909\u091a\u094d\u092f\u0924\u0946 | 402) vIra:<\/u> (\u0935\u0940\u0930\u0903) (also repeated in 664)<\/p>\n bhagavAn causes commotion among the rAkshasas and chases them away by displaying his valor. Hence, he is called \u2018vIra:\u2019 \u2013 the valorous one.<\/p>\n The root \u2018ajh\u2019 (\u0905\u091c\u094d) refers to movement, as well as chasing. By grammatical rules, it is replaced by the word \u2018vI\u2019 (\u0935\u0940), and also gets the \u2018rak\u2019 (\u0930\u0915\u094d) adjunct, resulting in this divine name.<\/p>\n This is as said in the scriptures thus:<\/p>\n Etymology: bhagavAn is called \u2018vIra:\u2019 since he instills fear among rAkshasas (and causes them to shiver) due to his boundless valor.<\/p>\n \u0935\u0940\u0930\u0903 \u0915\u092e\u094d\u092a\u0928\u0939\u0946\u0924\u0941\u0924\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0924\u094d \u0930\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0938\u093e\u092e\u0924\u093f\u092d\u0940\u092e\u0924\u0903 |<\/p>\n 403) SakthimathAm<\/u> SrEshta: (\u0936\u0915\u094d\u0924\u093f\u092e\u0924\u093e\u0902 \u0936\u094d\u0930\u0946\u0937\u094d\u0920\u0903)<\/p>\n bhagavAn is superior to dhEvas, who are all powerful. Hence, he is called \u2018SakthimathAm SrEshta:\u2019 \u2013 the best among the powerful ones.<\/p>\n paraSurAma hails SrI rAma thus: \u201cI know you as the eternal godhead, who slew the demon named madhu. I know you as the lord of all dhEvas\u201d<\/p>\n Even the four faced brahmA exclaims thus in the yudhdha kANda: \u201cAfter all, you are superior to all dhEvas; yet how do you claim not to know yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n hanuman, while glorifying his lord in front of rAvaNa, hails thus: \u201cOh lord of rAkshasas! Even if all demigods, demons, gandharvas, vidhyAdharas, nAgas, and yakshas come together to fight against rAma \u2013 who is the lord of three worlds \u2013 in the battle field, they would not even be able to stand in front of him\u201d<\/p>\n The same sundara kANda also hails bhagavAn thus: \u201cThat rAma is capable of destroying all the worlds with his fiery arrows. Not just that, he is even capable of recreating all the worlds as before\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: The one who is known to be superior to dhEvas \u2013 who are powerful \u2013 is called \u2018SakthimathAm SrEshta:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0938\u0941\u0930\u093e\u0926\u0940\u0928\u093e\u0902 \u0936\u0915\u094d\u0924\u093f\u092e\u0924\u093e\u0902 \u092f\u0903 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0936\u0938\u094d\u092f\u0924\u092e\u0903 \u0938\u094d\u092e\u0943\u0924\u0903 | 404) dharma:<\/u> (\u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0903)<\/p>\n bhagavAn himself is the means for attaining both materialistic as well as spiritual desires. Hence, he is himself called \u2018dharma:\u2019.<\/p>\n The root \u2018dhru\u2019 \u0927\u0943 (to bear) gets the \u2018man\u2019 (\u092e\u0928\u094d) adjunct as per grammatical rule, resulting in this divine name. The same rule applies to other divine names such as \u2018sOma:\u2019 \u0938\u094a\u092e\u0903 (507), et al.<\/p>\n The four faced brahmA \u2013 the best among the knowledgeable men \u2013 also says the same thing in yudhdha kANda of Srimath rAmAyana thus: \u201cYou are the best \u2018dharma\u2019 in all the worlds\u201d.<\/p>\n lakshmaNa, while shooting a last arrow at indhrajith, swears thus: \u201cIf it is true that rAma is verily the embodiment of dharma, a very honest person, and unparalleled in valor, then \u2013 oh arrow! kill that son of rAvana\u201d<\/p>\n Even in SrI mahAbhAratha, it is said thus:<\/p>\n \u201cThe scholars who know the vEdhas and the pure devotees who are involved in spiritual pursuits utter in unison that verily the great soul krishNa is himself the embodiment of eternal dharma\u201d<\/p>\n The same scripture also says thus in other places:<\/p>\n Etymology: bhagavAn himself bestows the fruits for all material as well as spiritual pursuits and thus bears all the individual souls. Hence, he is called \u2018dharma:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0928\u093f\u0903\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0946\u092f\u0938\u093e\u092d\u094d\u092f\u0941\u0926\u092f\u0924\u094a \u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0903 \u0938\u0930\u094d\u0935\u0938\u094d\u092f \u0927\u093e\u0930\u0923\u093e\u0924\u094d |<\/p>\n 405) dharmavidhuththama:<\/u> (\u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0935\u093f\u0926\u0941\u0924\u094d\u0924\u092e\u0903)<\/p>\n rAma is the best among those who know dharma (rishis), and hence superior to them. Thus, he is called \u2018dharmavidhuththama:\u2019. He is indeed the refuge to learn about dharma even for the sages of the rank of vaSishta, vAmadhEva, mArkaNdeya, et al, although he humbly claims to be their disciple.<\/p>\n The scriptures hail this quality of bhagavAn thus:<\/p>\n Etymology: The one who is sought as refuge by sages of the rank of vaSishta, et al. in order to know about dharma is called \u2018dharmavidhuththama:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0935\u0938\u093f\u0937\u094d\u0920\u093e\u0926\u094d\u092f\u0941\u092a\u091c\u0940\u0935\u094d\u092f\u094a \u092f\u094a \u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0946 \u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0935\u093f\u0926\u0941\u0924\u094d\u0924\u092e\u0903 |<\/p>\n =============================== 406) vaikuNta:<\/u> (\u0935\u0948\u0915\u0941\u0923\u094d\u0920\u0903)<\/p>\n bhagavAn is called \u2018vaikuNta:\u2019 since he is ever united with every soul. The word \u2018kuti\u2019 (\u0915\u0941\u0920\u093f) means \u2018obstruction\u2019. The \u2018obstruction\u2019 in this context refers to the obstacles that stop everyone from uniting with SrI rAma. The souls who are ridden of such obstructions and united with bhagavAn are called \u2018vikunta:\u2019 (\u0935\u093f\u0915\u0941\u0923\u094d\u0920\u093e\u0903). Since bhagavAn is the one who absolves such obstacles to those souls, he is called \u2018vaikuNta:\u2019.<\/p>\n In the mahAbhAratha, bhagavAn declares thus: \u201cI am called \u2018vaikuNta\u2019 since I am the one who mixes earth with water, sky with air, air with fire, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n The same characteristic is seen in his incarnation as SrI rAma as well. This is shown thus in SrImath rAmAyana:<\/p>\n Etymology: The meaning of root \u2018kuti\u2019 is said to be \u2018obstacles to union\u2019. Those who are ridden off such obstacles are called \u2018vikuNta\u2019s. Since bhagavAn is the one who rid such obstacles from them, he is called \u2018vaikuNta:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0938\u0902\u0936\u094d\u0932\u0946\u0937\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0924\u093f\u0918\u093e\u0924\u0936\u094d\u091a \u0915\u0941\u0920\u093f\u0927\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0935\u0930\u094d\u0925 \u0909\u091a\u094d\u092f\u0924\u0946 | 407) purusha:<\/u> (\u092a\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0937\u0903) (also repeated in 14)<\/p>\n The vEdhas declare “He who is eternal burns all our sins, and hence called ‘purusha:'”. bhagavAn purifies his devotees by burning out their sins. Hence, he is called \u2018purusha:\u2019 \u2013 the extremely pure one.<\/p>\n In SrImath rAmAyana, bhagavAn is hailed thus: \u201cYou are the most pure soul in all worlds, oh scion of raghu clan\u201d<\/p>\n Even Sabari says thus: \u201cOh rAma, I am fully purified with your gentle glance\u201d<\/p>\n Alternately, the root \u2018pru\u2019 \u092a\u0943 (to protect or to complete) acts as the source for this divine name. The word \u2018pura:\u2019 \u092a\u0941\u0930\u0903 (ahead) gets the \u2018kushan\u2019 (\u0915\u0941\u0937\u0928\u094d) adjunct, resulting in this divine name.<\/p>\n Thus, it is befitting to address rAma as \u2018purusha\u2019 in all senses. The SrImath rAmAyana hails bhagavAn thus:<\/p>\n \u201cThese six qualities (gynAna, bala, etc) adore SrI rAma, who is the best of all\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe wielder of the \u2018SArnga\u2019 bow, the controller of all senses, and the one who is known as \u2018purusha\u2019 is indeed the best of all souls\u201d, et al.<\/p>\n Etymology: As shown in the vEdhic statement \u2018sa yathpUrvaM\u2026\u2019, it is evident that bhagavAn is called by the divine name \u2018purusha\u2019 due to his nature of purifying souls (by burning out their loads of sins). Alternately, the root word \u2018pru\u2019 is taken in the context of \u2018protection\u2019 and thus gets the \u2018kushan\u2019 adjunct. This means bhagavAn moves ahead of all souls and protects them. Thus, he is called \u2018purusha:\u2019 by the learned men.<\/p>\n \u0938 \u092f\u0924\u094d\u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0935\u092e\u093f\u0924\u093f \u0936\u094d\u0930\u0941\u0924\u094d\u092f\u093e \u092a\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0937\u0903 \u092a\u093e\u0935\u0928\u0924\u094d\u0935\u0924\u0903 | 408) prANa:<\/u> (\u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0903) (also repeated in 67, 322)<\/p>\n bhagavAn is the very life force in all entities. Hence he is called \u2018prANa:\u2019.<\/p>\n (Note: In the 67th<\/sup> divine name, bhagavAn was depicted as the very life force of all the nithyasUris in SrI vaikuNtam, and hence he was called \u2018prANa:\u2019. In the 322nd<\/sup> divine name, he was shown to be the very life force of all entities during the churning of milky ocean in his kUrma avathAram. Hence he was called \u2018prANa:\u2019. Here, rAma is said to be the very life force of his parents, brothers, all the denizens of ayOdhyA, as also to all the sages in the forests, the monkey troupes, the noble rAkshasas like vibhIshaNa et al. Not just that, he is indeed the life force of every single entity in this creation even today, and also at all times to come. Hence, he is called as \u2018prANa:\u2019 in this divine name.)<\/p>\n Etymology: bhagavAn is called \u2018prANa:\u2019 since he breathes life into every entity.<\/p>\n \u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0903 \u0938\u0930\u094d\u0935\u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0928\u093e\u0926\u094d\u0927\u093f |<\/p>\n 409) prANadha:<\/u> (\u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0926\u0903) (also repeated in 66, 323, 956)<\/p>\n bhagavAn bestows upon every entity the very life force called \u2018prANa\u2019. Thus, he is called \u2018prANadha:\u2019.<\/p>\n That is why, the plight of entities in ayOdhyA are described thus in his absence:<\/p>\n \u201cAll trees with buds, flowers and shoots dried up completely. All the gardens and plantations in ayOdhyA were only filled with dried up leaves and branches that had fallen down\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n (Note: In the 66th<\/sup> divine name, bhagavAn was called prANadha: since he bestows the life force upon the nithyasUris in SrI vaikuNtam for them to experience him. In the 323rd<\/sup> divine name, he is called prANadha: since he bestowed upon dhEvas the life force in order to support them during the churning of milky ocean. Here, bhagavAn rAma is called prANadha: since he is verily the bestower of life force upon every entity in ayOdhyA)<\/p>\n Etymology: Since bhagavAn bestows the very life force upon every entity, he is called \u2018prANadha:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0924\u0926\u094d\u0926\u093e\u0928\u093e\u0924\u094d \u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0926\u0903 \u0938\u094d\u092e\u0943\u0924\u0903 |<\/p>\n 410) praNama:<\/u> (\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0923\u092e\u0903) (also repeated in 957)<\/p>\n As shown in the vEdhas and also by etymology, bhagavAn is called \u2018praNama:\u2019 since he makes all the sentient and insentient entities bow down to him for his qualities. In the Srimath rAmAyana, it is shown thus: \u201cHe churned the hearts of all subjects by displaying his divine qualities\u201d.<\/p>\n Etymology: Since bhagavAn makes all entities bow down by displaying his divine qualities, he is called \u2018praNama:\u2019.<\/p>\n (NOTE: Some texts show this divine name to be \u2018praNava:\u2019. However, the etymology has it as \u2018praNama:\u2019 only)<\/p>\n \u0917\u0941\u0923\u0948\u0936\u094d\u091a\u0930\u093e\u091a\u0930\u093e\u0923\u093e\u0902 \u0939\u093f \u0928\u093e\u092e\u0928\u093e\u0924\u094d \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0923\u092e\u0903 \u0938\u094d\u092e\u0943\u0924\u0903 |<\/p>\n adiyen srinivasa raja ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n archived in\u00a0https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013\u00a0https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Part 40 401) anaya: (\u0905\u0928\u092f\u0903) bhagavAn \u2013 who subordinates himself to his devotees (as seen in the divine name \u2018nEya:\u2019) \u2013 does not yield to the words of his oppressors.\u00a0 Thus, he is called \u2018anaya:\u2019 \u2013 the one who cannot be ruled. … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other","category-sahasranamam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30579\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
