(567) Sudhanva: One who has got as His weapon the bow named Saranga of great excellence.
One who has his glorious bow-called “Saarga.” Acoording to some, it represents the sense organs and their activities.

(568) Khanda-parashur: The battle-axe that destroys enemies.
One who has the axe- weapon-called “Parasu.” The Lord used this weapon in His Incarnation as Parasuraama, the son of Jamadagni. It is endowed with terrible prowess in cutting down the unholy enemies of the nobler life and so it is called as the “Khanda-Parasu.” As such it means ‘one who wields the invincible Parasu.’

(569) Daruno: One who is harsh and merciless to those who are on the evil path.
“The one who is merciless towards the unrighteous.” Up to a point the Lord is All-mercy- but when He finds that no other method can save the individual, like a surgeon at the operation theatre, He appears to be relentless-merciless.

(570) Dravinapradah: One who bestows the desired wealth on devotees.
One who lavishly gives wealth asked for by His devotees. According to Vyasa, Lord Vishnu gives to his true devotees the wealth of the Sastra knowledge-the deeper and clearer understanding of the Science of Reality.

(571) Divah-spruk: One who touches the heavens.
“The Sky-reaching.” The Lord who revealed His Universal Form to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Geeta.

(572) Sarva-drug vyaso: One whose comprehension includes everything in its ambit.
When considered as one word it means: “One who creates many omniscient men of wisdom.” One who encourages the spread of knowledge and thus turns out many men of wisdom and clearer understanding of life and the world. Or taken as two words its interpretation can mean: “One who is Omniscient and Vyasa.” This would mean, “The Lord who has expressed Him- self as Sri Veda Vyasa.” Vyasa is the poet-philosopher who codified, compiled and edited the Vedas and published them in four volumes-Rig Veda, with its 21 branches; Yajur Veda, with its 101 branches: Saama Veda, with its 1000 branches and the Atharvana Veda, with its 9 branches (or Saakhaas). He is the one who gave us the 18 Puranas and the Brahmasootras. Hence he is called: “The Omniscient Vyasa.”

(573) Vachaspatir ayonijah: The Lord is Vachaspati because He is the master of all learning. He is Ayonija because He was not born of a mother. This forms a noun in combination with the attribute.
One who is a master of all knowledge (Vidyaas) and who is unborn through a mother’s womb.

Bhagavan bhagahanandi vanamali halayudhah
Adityo jyotir-adityah sahishnur gatisattamah ..60

(558) Bhagavan: The origin, dissolution, the bondage and salvation of creatures, knowledge, ignorance – one who knows all these is Bhagavan.
The word ‘Bhaga’, according to the Great Vishnu Purana means, “One who has all the Six Great Glories-Wealth, Power, Dharma, Fame, Character, Knowledge and Dispassion-is called ‘Bhagavaan’.” Again, Vishnu Purana says: “He is named Bhagavaan who knows (a) the beginning and the end, (b) the arrival and departure of beings, and also (c) Vidyaa and Avidyaa.” one who has all the six glorious in himself alone in Bhagavan and these great mighty power atomically come to Him, because his equipment is the Total-mind.

(559) Bhagaha: One who withdraws the Bhagas, beginning with lordliness, into Himself at the time of dissolution.
One who destroys, during the deluge, the six glories just mentioned. At this time, the lord absorbs everything unto himself, and in this sense the term, “destroyer of all great glories. When thus the total -mind rest from its self-willed projections, the world of plurality appears have to been absorbed by the lord unto himself.

(560) Anandi: One whose nature is Ananda (bliss).
“The one who gives delight.” the lord is himself Absolute Bliss, and those devotees who move towards him in pure surrender, come to share his divine nature of All-bliss. There is a version wherein we read this term as ‘Nandee’. Here, too, there is no difference in meaning. also this term indicates: “Son of Nandagopal”-lord krishna-who was natured and tended by Yasodaa and Nandagopal throughout his childhood.

(561) Vanamali: One who wears the floral wreath (Vanamala) called Vaijayanti, which consists of the categories of five Elements.
One who wears always a garland of leavers and flowers named Vaijantee. Vaishnavas declare this to represent the subtle aspect of very fine elements themselves, (Bhoota-tanmaatraas).

(562) Halayudhah: One who in His incarnation as Balabhadra had Hala or ploughshare as His weapon.
“One who has the plough as his weapon.” he is brother of lord Krishna, Balaabhadra, who is considered as the eight incarnation of lord Vishnu. Even today in our country the farmer repeat Bala-rama’s name while ploughing for a successful cultivation and profitable harvest.

(563) Adityo: One who was born of Aditi in His incarnation as Vamana.
One who was born as the son of Adhiti and Kasyapa as Vaamana, who begged of Emperor Bali three steps of ground and got all the three worlds.

(564) Jyotir-adityah: One who dwells in the brilliance of the sun’s orb.
“The supreme who is the resplendence in the Sun.” the Atman expressing as the glorious light and energy in the sun is meditated upon as lord Vishnu. “One must meditate upon Vishnu who is adorned fully, holding in his hands the conch and Discus, sitting in padmasana, enveloped in golden hue, in the centre of the orb of the sun.” the Deity residing in the disc of the sun is Narayana Himself. “Aat” -’from Vishnu’; “ityah” -’to be obtained and so He is called as Aaditya. This interpretation gives us an insight into the meaning of the word Sun, in Sanskrit-‘Aaditya’: “One from whom all creatures have to receive”! The great-grand-giver is the Sun.

(565) Sahishnur: One who puts up with the contraries like heat and cold.
One who calmly endures the pairs of opposites. One who is above them, and thus is never influenced by these experiences of the physical and mental realms.

The ultimate refuge for all devotees; the best (Highest) destination and at once the noblest path. Lord Narayana. “Gati” means both the goal and the path. In short, One who is himself the very essence of the spiritual liberation.
