VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
He that always forgives (Sadamarshi).
145
Especially good men.
Vya. Seeing the Mukta-jivas, liberated souls, He
feels that His work is over with them.
894. The stay of the worlds (Lokadhishthanam).
Because the three worlds rest on Him, who wants no
support, being Brahman.
895. The wonderful (Adbhutah).
The Sruti (Kath. Up., 2-7) says: "Who cannot be
attained by many even by hearing; whom, many though
hearing, do not know; the expounder of him is a wonder;
and able is he who obtains him; wonderful is the knower
instructed by the able." The Lord (Bh. G., 2-29) says: "One
sees him like a wonder." Or wonderful because of his
form, power, transaction, etc.
(Slo. 108)
896. Of long duration (Sanat).
Time is the manifestation of the supreme One. The
Vishnu Purana (1-2-15) says: "The first emanation, O
Dvija, of Parabrahman is Purusha. The next is the
Vyakta and Avyakta. The last is Time."
Vya. Sanat means worship.
897. The most ancient (Sanatanatamah).
Because He is the cause of all, and older than Brahma
and others who are the oldest.
898. Dark-blue hued (Kapilah).
Like the colour of Badaba, the fire of final destruction.
899. The Sun (Kapih). ¹
He who dries up (pi) the water (ka) by his rays; or
Kapi means Varaha or boar-incarnation.
1899 and 900 make one.
