VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
961. The sustainer of Prana (Pranabhrit).
By means of food.
Vya. He maintains His devotees as He does His life.
962. The life of Beings (Pranajivanah).
Because He makes the beings to live by means of
Prana or vital airs. The Sruti (Kath. Up., 5-5) says: "No
mortal whatsoever lives by Prana, nor by Apāna; they live
by another on which both are founded."
963. The reality (Tattvam).
"The words Tattva,'' Amrita,' 'Satya,' and 'Para-
märthasatatva are synonyms and mean the same Brahman,
which is the real Truth.
964. The knower of the Truth (Tattvavit).
As it is.
Vya. He is the remaining principle of all tatvas.
965. The one Ātman (Ekatma).
The Sruti (Chcha. Up., 1-1) says: "This indeed was
one Atman." The Smriti says: "That which pervades,
that which receives, that which enjoys the objects, and
that which exists always, is called Atman."
Vya. His mind is exclusively in the knowers of
reality.
966. He that transcends birth, death, and decre-
pitude (Janma mrityu jaratigah).
He who goes transcending the six kinds of changes
such as conception, birth, growth, maturity, decay and
death. The Sruti (Kath. Up., 2-18) says: "He, the intelli-
gent, is not born nor does he die."
(Slo. 116)
967. He that causes to cross (the three worlds) by
means of the three Vyahritis, Bhuh, Bhuvah, and Svah
(Bhūrbhuvassvastaruh).
