In order to enable the souls in achieving their final goal, since bhagavAn resides in every entity as their indweller, he is called \u2018vathsara:\u2019. The root \u2018vas\u2019 \u0935\u0938\u094d (to reside) gets the \u2018saran\u2019 (\u0938\u0930\u0928\u094d) adjunct, resulting in this divine name.<\/p>\n The manthra varNas also hail bhagavAn thus: \u201c\u2026unto that indweller of all entities and the very embodiment of dharma\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: He who is the embodiment of dharma, who resides in every entity in order to establish the ultimate goal for all, is called \u2018vathsara:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u092a\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0937\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0938\u094d\u0925\u093e\u092a\u0928\u093e\u092f \u0938\u0930\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0930\u094d\u0935\u0938\u094d\u0928\u093e\u091a\u094d\u091a \u092f\u0903 | 472) vathsala:<\/u> (\u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938\u0932\u0903)<\/p>\n Why does bhagavAn have to reside in every entity and lead them towards the ultimate goal? It is because he is \u2018vathsala:\u2019 \u2013 the affectionate one. He loves his dear children (all individual souls) who are also devoted to him. The word \u2018vathsa\u2019 \u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938 (to love) gets the \u2018lach\u2019 (\u0932\u091a\u094d) adjunct, resulting in this divine name.<\/p>\n Although bhagavAn has been associated with these individual souls for a long time, yet he is very keen on doing something good for each one of them who have surrendered unto him. This instinct to do good to his devotees is as much as the motherly instinct of a cow that has just given birth to a calf, which is extremely protective about the calf on the one hand \u2013 by driving away anyone who approaches it (thinking that they might harm the newly born calf), and at the same time overwhelmed with affection towards the calf with its lactated udder on the other. With such mixed feelings, the cow never knows how to react, and seems to be in a state of excitement. Such is the state of bhagavAn also, who is extremely caring and affectionate about his devotees who have surrendered unto him.<\/p>\n (PLEASE NOTE Bhattar\u2019s stress here: that this affection of bhagavAn akin to a cow\u2019s affection towards a \u201cnewly born\u201d calf is manifest although his relationship with the individual soul is extremely old!)<\/p>\n This divine attribute of bhagavAn is well known even towards his oppressors such as rAvaNa et al. sIthA says thus about rAma to rAvaNa in the sundhara kANda of SrImath rAmAyaNa: \u201cHe is the knower of dharma. He is very affectionate towards anyone who has surrendered unto him.\u201d (This statement comes in the context of sIthA advising rAvaNa to surrender unto rAma by giving her back to him, so that he would forgive him for all his misconducts and accept him into his fold)<\/p>\n Only because bhagavAn possesses such a wonderful and auspicious quality, the quality itself gains merit as being an attribute of righteousness.<\/p>\n Etymology: The one who possesses boundless affection towards the surrendered souls, which instigates him to be their indweller, is called \u2018vathsala:\u2019. bhagavAn\u2019s affection towards the surrendered souls is much akin to the affection shown by a cow towards its calf.<\/p>\n \u0938\u0930\u094d\u0935\u0938\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0930\u094d\u0928\u093f\u0935\u0938\u0928\u0946 \u0939\u0946\u0924\u0941\u0903 \u0938\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0926\u094d\u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938\u0932\u0903 \u0938\u094d\u092e\u0943\u0924\u0903 | 473) vathsI<\/u> (\u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938\u0940)<\/p>\n bhagavAn possesses umpteen individual souls who are thus nurtured and cared by bhagavAn as shown in the previous divine name. Thus, he is called \u2018vathsI\u2019.<\/p>\n The word \u2018vathsa\u2019 \u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938 (dear one) gets the \u2018ini\u2019 (\u0907\u0928\u093f) adjunct, resulting in this divine name.\u00a0 This is indicative of the eternity and abundance of such souls with bhagavAn.<\/p>\n Etymology: Since bhagavAn always possesses an abundance of souls who are fondled by him (as shown in the previous divine name), he is called \u2018vathsI\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0928\u093f\u0924\u094d\u092f\u092a\u094a\u0937\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0924\u094d\u092e\u0935\u0930\u094d\u0917\u093e\u0916\u094d\u092f-\u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938\u092d\u0942\u092f\u0938\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0935\u0924\u0903 \u0938\u0926\u093e | 474) rathnagarbha:<\/u> (\u0930\u0924\u094d\u0928\u0917\u0930\u094d\u092d\u0903)<\/p>\n Among such intimate souls, there are also souls who desire for material benefits. Since bhagavAn possesses immense wealth so as to satiate their desires, he is called \u2018rathnagarbha:\u2019.<\/p>\n The scriptures hail thus: \u201cbhagavAn holds \u2018desire\u2019 and \u2018wealth\u2019 in the form of \u2018Sankha\u2019 or conch and \u2018chakra\u2019 or discus respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: Since bhagavAn possesses immense wealth sufficient to bestow unto the materially inclined souls, he is called \u2018rathnagarbha:\u2019. He is indeed the bestower of wealth to everyone.<\/p>\n \u0927\u0928\u093e\u092f\u0926\u094d\u092d\u094d\u092f\u094a \u092f\u0925\u093e\u0915\u093e\u092e\u0902 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0946\u092f \u0927\u0928\u0935\u0924\u094d\u0935\u0924\u0903 | 475) dhanESvara:<\/u> (\u0927\u0928\u0946\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930\u0903)<\/p>\n Since bhagavAn bestows such wealth upon the seekers instantly, he is called \u2018dhanESvara:\u2019.<\/p>\n This divine name is formed with the adjunct \u2018varat\u2019 (\u0935\u0930\u091f\u094d) suffixed to the root word \u2018ASu\u2019 \u0906\u0936\u0941 (quick).<\/p>\n Etymology: He is called \u2018dhanESvara:\u2019, who acts swiftly in bestowing the desired wealth upon the seekers.<\/p>\n \u0924\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0926\u093f\u0937\u094d\u091f\u0926\u094d\u0930\u0935\u094d\u092f\u0926\u093e\u0928\u0946 \u0936\u0940\u0918\u094d\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930\u0940 \u0927\u0928\u0946\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930\u0903 |<\/p>\n ============================== 476) dharmagup<\/u> (\u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0917\u0941\u092a\u094d)<\/p>\n bhagavAn not only confers wealth upon the materialistic seekers, but also slowly turns them away from undesirable subjects and thus protects them by engaging them in righteous ways. Thus, he is called \u2018dharmagup\u2019 \u2013 the one who protects the dharma of his devotees.<\/p>\n The scriptures say thus: \u201cbhagavAn bestows wealth and intellect upon the seekers who are stationed in righteousness\u201d.<\/p>\n Etymology: Although bhagavAn confers the mundane desires of his devotees, yet he turns them away from lowly desires and upholds their righteous interests for their benefit, which is why he is called \u2018dharmagup\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0915\u093e\u092e\u0902 \u0926\u0924\u094d\u0935\u093e\u092a\u094d\u092f\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0915\u093e\u092e\u094c \u0928\u093f\u0935\u0930\u094d\u0924\u094d\u092f \u0935\u093f\u0937\u092f\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0930\u093e\u0924\u094d | 477) dharmakruth<\/u> (\u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0915\u0943\u0924\u094d)<\/p>\n As explained in the previous divine name, bhagavAn slowly turns his devotees towards the path of righteousness. Not just that; he further graces such righteous souls causelessly and uplifts them. Thus, bhagavAn is called \u2018dharmakruth\u2019 \u2013 the one who practices the \u2018dharma\u2019 of protecting the righteous souls. The purport here is thus: bhagavAn graces only righteous people. Hence he ensures that every individual soul practices righteousness in due course.<\/p>\n The scriptures proudly declare thus: \u201cIrrespective of how learned a person is, the practice of the faultless, eternal and pervasive \u2018dharma\u2019 is impossible without the intellect blessed by bhagavAn himself\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: Since bhagavAn makes every individual soul righteous, and observes his own dharma which is to grace such righteous individual souls causelessly (without specific reasons), he is called \u2018dharmakruth\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0938\u0930\u094d\u0935\u0902 \u091c\u0928\u0902 \u0927\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092e\u093f\u0915\u092f\u0928\u094d \u0932\u0940\u0932\u093e\u0928\u0941\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0939\u0932\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0923\u092e\u094d | 478) dharmI<\/u> (\u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0940)<\/p>\n Even the well established dharma is used by bhagavAn as a tool to accomplish his deeds. Hence, he is called \u2018dharmI\u2019.<\/p>\n Etymology: He who possesses just the dharma as a common tool to accomplish his tasks is called \u2018dharmI\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0938\u093e\u0927\u093e\u0930\u0923\u094a\u092a\u0915\u0930\u0923\u0902 \u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u094a \u092f\u0938\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093f \u0915\u0946\u0935\u0932\u092e\u094d | 479) sath<\/u> (\u0938\u0924\u094d)<\/p>\n Since all the attributes of dharma explained hitherto are lofty in nature, bhagavAn \u2013 who possesses such attributes \u2013 is called \u2018sath\u2019.<\/p>\n bhagavAn himself declares thus in the bhagavath gIthA: \u201cOh arjuna, the word \u2018sath\u2019 is also used in the context of meaning \u2018auspicious deeds\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The auspiciousness of such attributes is due to their eternal association with bhagavAn.<\/p>\n Also, bhagavAn is called \u2018sath\u2019 because of his eternal existence and possession of divine auspicious qualities.<\/p>\n The same bhagavath gIthA hails thus: \u201cThe word \u2018sath\u2019 is used in the context of referring to eternal entities as well as auspicious qualities\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: Since bhagavAn is causeless and eternal, and always possesses divine auspicious qualities, the learned men well versed in vEdhas and upanishaths call vishNu as \u2018sath\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0928\u093f\u0930\u0941\u092a\u093e\u0927\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u0926\u094d\u092d\u093e\u0935\u093e\u0924\u094d \u0928\u093f\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0938\u093e\u0926\u094d\u0917\u0941\u0923\u094d\u092f\u092f\u094a\u0917\u0924\u0903 | 480) sadhaksharam<\/u> (\u0938\u0926\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u092e\u094d)<\/p>\n As detailed in the previous divine name, bhagavAn is called \u2018sath\u2019 due to his eternal existence and his attribution of auspicious qualities. Furthermore, such divine attribution is ceaseless. Thus, the adjunct of \u2018aksharam\u2019 \u0905\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u092e\u094d\u00a0 (imperishable) is suffixed in this divine name.<\/p>\n The word \u2018ksharam\u2019 (\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u092e\u094d) means to cease to exist (to get destroyed) at some point of time or in some place. Whereas, bhagavAn\u2019s divine attributes are hailed thus:<\/p>\n \u201cHis divine forms and qualities can only be described as \u2018existent\u2019 forever, which is completely free from blemishes such as fading, destruction, transformations, birth, death, etc\u201d.<\/p>\n Verily this opinion is also echoed in the vEdhic statement that says \u201cOh young one, only \u2018sath\u2019 existed earlier to this creation\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: \u00a0The one who is free from blemishes such as fading, destruction, etc is called \u2018akshara:\u2019. Thus (in conjunction with the previous divine name), the words \u2018sath\u2019 and \u2018aksharam\u2019 get together, resulting in a single name as \u2018sadhaksharam\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0905\u092a\u0915\u094d\u0937\u092f\u0935\u093f\u0928\u093e\u0936\u093e\u0926\u093f\u0935\u0930\u094d\u091c\u093f\u0924\u094as\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930 \u0909\u091a\u094d\u092f\u0924\u0946 | 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 47 471) vathsara: (\u0935\u0924\u094d\u0938\u0930\u0903) Thence, the form of bhagavAn as \u2018dharma\u2019 is being elucidated.
