The word \u2018hanthi\u2019 (\u0939\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f) in this divine name is used in the context of \u2018movement\u2019 (\u0917\u092e\u0928\u0915\u0930\u094d\u092e\u093e).<\/p>\n Alternately, the six qualities denoting the word \u2018bhaga\u2019 can also be known from the sixth amSa of vishNu purANa, where the word \u2018bhagavAn\u2019 is defined in great detail.<\/p>\n Etymology: bhagavAn is called \u2018bhagahA\u2019 since he possesses all the auspicious qualities that are denoted by the word \u2018bhaga\u2019.

Hence, he is called \u2018halAyudha:\u2019.<\/p>\n The vishNu dharma also hails bhagavAn\u2019s holding of plough thus: \u201cIn order to reap abundant harvests, one must meditate upon balarAma at the time of plowing the fields\u201d.<\/p>\n Etymology: He who holds a plough at all times, in order to reap abundant harvests (of sentient and insentient entities), is called \u2018halAyudha:\u2019.<\/p>\n \u0939\u0932\u0902 \u091a \u0938\u0924\u0924\u0902 \u0938\u0940\u0930\u0902 \u0927\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0946 \u092f\u094as\u0938\u094c \u0939\u0932\u093e\u092f\u0941\u0927\u0903 | 568) Adhithya:<\/u> (\u0906\u0926\u093f\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0903) (also repeated in 39)<\/p>\n The syllable \u2018A\u2019 (\u0906) represents bhagavAn. Since he is attained (itya: \u0907\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0903) through the syllable \u2018A\u2019 (Atha: \u0906\u0924\u0903), he is called \u2018Adhithya:\u2019 (\u0906\u0924\u0903 \u0907\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0903 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u092a\u094d\u092f\u0903 \u0907\u0924\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0926\u093f\u092f\u0903). This divine name is born out of the \u2018kyap\u2019 (\u0915\u094d\u092f\u092a\u094d) adjunct.<\/p>\n It is a well known fact that the syllable \u2018A\u2019 (\u0906) is the bIja manthra of bhagavAn sankarshaNa.<\/p>\n Alternately, bhagavAn was born to dhEvaki, who was in turn born as \u2018adhithi\u2019 in her previous birth. Thus also he is called \u2018Adhithya:\u2019 \u2013 the son of adhithi.<\/p>\n This is supported in the vaishNava dharma, where bhagavAn himself declares thus: \u201cOh dhEvaki, you were indeed the daughter of dhaksha prajApathi in your earlier birth. You were then born as adhithi in this world. You have always been a support to this world. Thus, I have come to grace you\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: He who is attained by the syllable \u2018A\u2019 is hailed as \u2018Adhithya:\u2019.

But nArAyaNa nullifies this sun\u2019s effulgence with his own effulgence, as much as to say that \u201cthe sun is just a ball of darkness\u201d!<\/p>\n In the nArAyaNIyam (SrI mahAbhAratha), this is hailed thus: \u201cWhile nara and nArAyaNa fought with Siva, all those who possessed effulgence lost their effulgence. Even brahmA fell from his position\u201d<\/p>\n Etymology: He who shines forth with astounding effulgence that dulls all other entities is indeed called \u2018jyOthirAdhithya:\u2019.
