VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
452. The emancipated Self (Vimuktātmā).
Or He is ever emancipated as well as the Åtman.
The Sruti (Kath. Up., 5-1) says: "He is liberated..."
453. All-knowing (Sarvajnah).
(815)
The Sruti (Br. Up., 6-5-7) says: "All this is the
Self . . ."
Vya. He recognises all as his manifestation.
454. Supreme wisdom (Jnanamuttamam).
(732)
Wisdom is uncreated and unlimited, and accomplishes
everything. The Sruti (Tai. Up., 2-1) says: "Brahman is
existence, wisdom and infinite."
(Slo. 61)
(818)
455. The pure vow (Suvratah).
Sri Rama says in the Ramayana (6-18-33): "He who
takes refuge in me once at least, and he who begs saying:
Thine am I,' to him I grant protection from all beings;
this is my vow."
456. The beautiful-faced (Sumukhah).
The Vishnu Purana (6-7-80) says: "His face is pleas-
ing, beautiful, possessed of large eyes resembling the lotus
leaf." Or this may apply to Sri Rama, the son of Dasa-
ratha, because he was well pleased with the forest life.
Thus the Ramayana (2-19-33) and Mahabharata say:
"Auspicious Rama at once received the order of his father
with a cheerful mind and spoke: Spending fifteen years
from this day in great forests, I shall adhere to your words.'
There was no manifestation of disturbance of mind in him,
although he was about to fly as an exile to the forest, leaving
the kingdom like unto one emancipated while yet alive."
Or because he was well pleased, having imparted all the
Vidyas (to Brahma). The Sruti (Sve. Up., 6-18) says:
"He who created Brahma at the beginning and imparted
the Vedas to him."
