(25) Sarvah: The omniscient source of all existence.
He who is the all. He being the One cause from which have sprung forth all things and beings. He himself is the all. In Mahabharata Udyoga Parva (70-12) we read: “As He is the origin and end of all, whether existent or otherwise, and as He, at all times, cognises all, He is called “Sarva”. All waves rise from the same ocean and, therefore, the ocean is the very essence in all waves.
(26) Sharvah: Destroyer.
The Auspicious One: meaning, the One who gives auspiciousness to those who hear of Him, to those who have a vision of Him, and to those who meditate upon Him. One who destroys inauspicious..
(27) Sivah: One pure.
The One who is Eternally Pure. In Him can never be any contamination of the imperfection of Rajas and Tamas. ‘Non-apprehension of Reality’ is Tamas and ‘misapprehensions of Reality’ constitute the Rajas. In the Reality Itself there can be neither of them ‘He is Brahman; He is Siva’, so the Upanishad declares of the Absolute Oneness, which is Vishnu.
(28) Sthanur: One who is steady, immovable and changeless.
Generally this term Sthanur is used for the permanent pillars that mark the frontiers of a country. They are permanent, immovable, fixed. The Truth, that remains thus firm and motionless, without movement, permanently established in Its own Realm of Purity, is called by the term Sthanur-the Pillar. “Eternal, All-Pervading, the Pillar, Motionless (is) this Ancient One,” so says – (Gita Ch. 2, 24).
(29) Bhutadir: Source of all elements or existing things.
The very cause (“Adi”) for the five great elements: Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.
(30) Avyayah nidhir: The changeless and indestructible Being in whom the whole universe becomes merged and remains in seminal condition at the time of Pralaya or cosmic dissolution.
The Imperishable treasure. The term Nidhi means ‘that in which precious things are stored away or preserved secretly’: (Nidheeyate Asmin iti Nidhir). Therefore, He who is the substratum-container-for the entire universe is the Nidhi. During the dissolution (sleep) the One into Whom all things go to lie merged therein temporarily, till the next projection or creation (waking), as this Immutable Treasure Chest-the Vishnu. Here ‘unchangeable’ (Avyaya) is qualifying ‘Nidhi’.
(31) Sambhavo: One born out of His own will as incarnation.
One who takes up by his own free will various incarnations for the glory of the world is Sambhavo. In fact, He alone is the source of all that is created. In Harivamsha we read the assertion: “I am the Narayana, the Source from which all creatures and things spring forth”. To uphold Dharma I shall manifest again and again, declares the Lord in His Gita.
(32) Bhavano: One who generates the fruits or Karmas of all Jivas for them to enjoy.
To do Bhavano is to give: One who gives everything to His devotees is Bhavano. The Lord is One who gives both joy and sorrow to each one according to his deserts. In the case of humanity it is He again who destroys the evil and blesses the good.
(33) Bharta: One who supports the universe as its substratum.
The One who ‘Governs’ the entire living world. Governing includes protecting the world from all harms and serving it positively with progress and joy. One who does these to all creatures at all times is Vishnu-the great Bharta.
(34) Prabhavah: One from whom all the great elements have their birth. Or one who has exalted births as incarnations.
The One who is the very womb of all the Five Great Elements. It is That from which even the very concepts of time and space have sprung from.
(35) Prabhur: One who is an adept in all rites.
The Almighty Lord. He who is the All-Powerful. He who has the supreme freedom to do (Kartum), not to do (Akartum), or to do quite differently from what He had already done (Anyathaa Kartum) is considered as the Prabhur.
(36) Ishvarah: One who has unlimited lordliness or power over all things.
One who has the ability to do anything without the help of other beings or things is called Ishvarah.
