Aadhaaranilayah –“One who is the fundamental sustainer” –the support for all that exists. All things and all beings are supported by the earth which itself rests upon the lord, the self, that each mind projects the entire world of names and forms. 951. Adhaataa –“Above whom there is no other to control or to command” –One who is the supreme controller of all. He is the Law; the eternal truth is that the Law and the Law-Giver are one and the same. 952. Pushpahaasah –“He who shines like an opening flower.” The bud opens and manifests into the lord at the time of deluge existed as the total Unmanifest, and there after, at the maturity of the vaasanaas, opens up as the manifest world of things and beings, He came to be indicated by this term. 953. Prajaagarah –“Ever-Awaked” –He who knows no sleep. Sleep means ‘non-apprehension.’ This ‘non-apprehension’ of reality is called ‘Avidyaa’ (nescience) which produces our ‘mis-apprehension’ of I and mine, and the world of pains and shocks. Since Narayana is the self, He is ‘Ever-available” and is never asleep to his Eternal-Divine-Nature. 954. Oordhvagah –“One who walks the path of truth” –a path which other implicitly follow to reach the Truth Inifinite. “Whatever an adored one does, other people will implicitly follow,” warns Krishna in Bhagava Geeta. Lord is the standard of perfection” and all devotees place him as the ideal –trying to imitate, in their own lives, His Absolute Goodness, Absolute Love and Absolute Peace. 956. Praanadah –“One who gives ‘Praana’ to all.” The term ‘Praana’ in our Sastras means the physiological functions, the manifestations of life in man. Therefore, Narayana, the self, is the Vital Source from which all sense organs, mind and intellect barrow their power of perception, capacities of feeling and their faculties of thinking and understanding. 957. Pranavah –“Om-kaara is Pranava.” The Infinite reality is indicated by ‘OM’ in the Vedas. ‘OM’ is the manifesting sound of the supreme self. Therefore, Sree Narayana is called ‘Pranavah’: meaning he is of the ‘nature of Omkaara.” 958. Panah –“The supreme Manager of the universe.” The root ‘Pana’ means “to transact.” By giving the exact rewards for all actions, Lord both orders and justly manages all activities of each individuals and things constituting this scientifically precise universe. http://groups.msn.com/ All New Mail – Tired of Vi@gr@! come-ons?
