283. Amritaamsoodbhavah - The moon who has consoling rays that gives the essential food value (Rasa) to the plants and fruits is called in Sanskrit as Amritaamsuh. In the Puranas it is described that the moon was first born from the milky-ocean during its churning. Since Vishnu is described as ever reposing upon His Ananta-bed in Ksheerasaagara, the Lord is Himself termed here as the Begetter of the Moon. Subjectively Moon (Mati) is the Presiding Deity of the intellect, and the discriminating intellect itself arose when our bosom started churning the heart by the two forces, the positive -the good (Deva) -and the negative -Vicious (Asuras). If the Sun is the Presiding Deity of energy, moon represents the world of matter, and the very source from which the world-of-matter, Kshetra, has risen is Amritaam- soodbhavah.
284. Bhaanuh - Self-Effulgent; One who expresses Himself for the blessing of the world in the form of the Sun and presides over the entire solar system.
285. Sasabinduh - The patch in the moon looks like the silhouette of a rabbit for the naked eye; that which has a “beauty-spot” (Bindu) in the shape of a rabbit (Sasa) is called Sasabindu -the moon. Since the Lord is the Nourisher of all and He is Himself the entire world of matter, He Himself is the Moon “that nourishes with essence all plant kingdom”.
286. Suresvarah - Sura means Deva and so the term indicates “the God of all gods”. The word Sura also can be dissolved to mean Giver (Ra) of Plenty (Su); Sura therefore stands for a person of extreme charity. The Lord, Eesvara, who prompts and fulfils the loving kindness of all charitable men is Suresvarah, Lord Vishnu.
287. Aushadham - Medicine. Narayana is the Divine Medicine for the immediate cure for all the burning sorrows of Samsar. Even to consider it more directly as the specific cure for all bodily ailments is not necessarily wrong, for ailments of the body are caused by mental disintegration, and when the inner man has surrendered in devotion to Him, Lord Narayana indeed becomes a specific cure for even all the physical diseases of His devotees.
288. Jagatassetuh - A reclamation bund thrown across waters connecting distant islands to the main land is called Setu. Sri Ramachandraji built one and reached Lanka. The term Jagatassetuh, therefore, implies that the Lord is Himself the Bridge over which one can safely cross over the realm of egocentric imperfections and reach the joyous realms of the Infinite Perfection.
289. Satyadharmaparaakramah - One who champions heroically for Truth (Satya) and Righteousness (Dharma). It can also imply as One who has Truthfulness (Satyam), Righteousness (Dharma) and Heroism (Paraakramah). In short, Lord is One, who fights constantly against the false and the unrighteous to establish Truth and Purity.
