Kalaneminiha virah saurih sura-janeshvarah
Trilokatma trilokeshah keshavah keshiha harih ..69

(642) Kalanemi-niha: One who destroyed the Asura named Kalanemi.
The slayer of the Asura, Kaalanemi. “Kaala” means ‘Time.’ The Self is the ‘destroyer of time’ as It is beyond the intellect and ‘time’ is but a concept of the intellect only.

(643) Virah: One who is courageous.
“The Heroic Victor.” One who is ever victorious.

(644) Saurih: One who was born in the clan of Sura as Krishna.
Born in the Soorasena-clan, in Jagannaath-which, in the Puranas, is called the Utkala country. Also, Sauri can indicate the One who has invincible prowess always.

(645) Sura-janeshvarah: One who by his overwhelming prowess controls even great powers like Indra and others.
“The Lord of the valiant.” Sri Narayana, the fountain-head of irresistible might. He is invoked by the victorious, and is the Source of strength from which even lndra and others draw their vigour.

(646) Trilokatma: One who in his capacity as the inner pervade is the soul for the three worlds.
“The Reality, the Self of the three worlds.” The ‘three-worlds’ are the three ‘fields of experiences’: the waking, the dream and the deep-sleep. As the Pure Consciousness, in the Light of which the waker-dreamer- sleeper comes to experience all the ‘three-worlds,’ the Self, Sri Narayana is called “The Atman of the three-worlds.”

(647) Trilokeshah: One under whose guidance and command everything in the three words is functioning.
“The Lord of the three-worlds.” Lord is One in whose presence all activities take place; in Whose absence all activities cease. He is called the Lord, the Great Proprietor. When life, the Self, manifests in a body, all experiences take place; when life is extinct, all activities cease. Hence Lord Narayana is the Self, the spark of Existence in all creatures.

(648) Keshavah: By Kesha is meant the rays of light spreading within the orbit of the sun.
Generally it is meant to describe Lord Krishna as “One Who has long hairs.” But Kesas are the rays of the Lord that illumine the Sun, Moon and such other effulgent things of the Cosmos. “The rays of mine that illumine (the Sun, etc.) are called Kesas. Therefore. the wise Brahmins call Me, Kesava.” Also’ Ka’ means Brahmaa, the Creator and ‘Eesa’ means Siva, the Destroyer. Both of them have sprung from Vishnu, the Preserver, hence He is called Kesavah.

(649) Keshiha: One who destroyed the Asura named Keshi.
One Who destroyed the Asura called Kesi.

(650) Harih: One who destroys Samsara, that is, entanglement in the cycle of birth and death along with ignorance, its cause.
The Lord is called “The Destroyer.” He, it is, who destroys the false values and the inner conflicts created by man in his own life and in his consequent discordant contact with the world around him. These confusions and sorrows created by man, for man in life, due to his own ignorance of his own divine nature, is called Samsaara. Lord Narayana is the Destroyer of this Samsara-sorrows in His devotees.

Lord Shri Vishnu Sahasranama Part: 69

Posted by kathavarta on November 4, 2009

Stanza::68::
Archishman architah kumbho vishuddhatma vishodhanah
Aniruddho pratirathah pradyumno amita-vikramah ..68

(633) Archishman: He by whose rays of light (Archish), the sun, the moon and other bodies are endowed with rays of light.
“The Effulgent.” As Pure Consciousness, Narayana is the Source of all Light. The Kathopanishad confirms this when it declares, “There, neither the sun nor the moon, nor the stars nor the lightning, has any effulgence; how then can this Fire-light illumine It? By Its Light alone, all else in the world is illumined.”

(634) Architah: One who is worshipped by Brahma and other Devas who are themselves the objects of worship in all the worlds.
One who is constantly worshipped by His devotees. Even Brahmaaji (The Creator) and Siva (The Destroyer) are worshipping Sri Narayana (The Preserver). Hence this term, “The Worshipped” for Lord Vishnu.

(635) Kumbho: He who contains in Himself every thing as in a pot.
“The pot.” The Lord, the Self, is called as “the pot” because just as things are contained within a pot, so the whole universe rests within Him, the “Container” and “Sustainer.” Everything and every happening is within Him alone.

(636) Vishuddhatma: Being above the three Gunas, Satva, Rajas and Tamas, the Lord is pure spirit and is also free from all impurities.
“One Who has the purest Soul.” When the Self is cleansed of all passions and thought agitations, in that uncontaminated purity It is realised. Therefore, the Lord, the Self, is called the Pure Atman, completely bereft of all equipments and their passions, all disturbances from desire. One who is beyond the “Three Gunas,” Trigunaateetah, meaning one who transcends all the Vaasanaas that generate the three moods constituting the entire phenomenon, Maayaa.

(637) Vishodhanah: One who destroys all sins by mere remembrance.
“The Great Purifier.” The One, meditating upon whom all vaasanaas get exhausted and the personality purified from these desires, becomes free of all its accustomed, existent agitations. He who is the very Source of Purity; who lends purity even to the sacred-places. By remembering Him, the human heart becomes cleansed of its sins, immaculately swept of all consequent feelings of restlessness.

(638) Aniruddho: The last one of the four Vyuhas – Vasudeva, Samkarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. Or one who, cannot be obstructed by enemies.
Of the four manitestations (Vyoohas) of Vishnu, the Aniruddha manifestation is indicated here. The four Vyoohas are: (I) Vaasudevah; (2) Samkarshanah; (3) Pradyumnah; and (4) Aniruddhah. The term can also mean “He Who is invincible by any of His enemies.”

(639) Pratirathah: One who has no Pratiratha or an equal antagonist to confront.
One who is never challenged by any enemies and who has no enemies to even threaten Him. Sri Narayana is without enemies; in His loving Presence they are vanquished.

(640) Pradyumno: One whose Dyumna or wealth is of a superior and sacred order. Or one of the four Vyuhas.
“Very Rich.” Lord is Lakshmi-Pati and, in His benevolence, He gives riches and mighty glory to His devotees. Pradyumnah can also be the third of His four manifestations as Vyoohas.

(641) Amita-vikramah: One of unlimited prowess. Or one whose prowess cannot be obstructed by any one.
Of immeasurable Prowess is Sri Narayana. The Self, the Supreme, is Omnipotent and none can stand against Him. It can also mean, “One who has un-measurable steps” exhibited in His Divine performance in His Vamana Incarnation.
