567. Sudhanvaa - One who has his glorious bow-called “Saarga.” According to some, it represents the sense organs and their activities.
568. Khanda-parasuh - One who has the axe- weapon-called “Parasu.” The Lord used this weapon in His Incarnation as Parasuraama, the son of Jamadagni. It is endowed with terrible prowess in cutting down the unholy enemies of the nobler life and so it is called as the “Khanda-Parasu.” As such it means ‘one who wields the invincible Parasu.’
569. Daarunah – “The one who is merciless towards the unrighteous.” Up to a point the Lord is All-mercy- but when He finds that no other method can save the individual, like a surgeon at the operation theatre, He appears to be relentless-merciless.
570. Dravina-pradah - One who lavishly gives wealth asked for by His devotees. According to Vyasa, Lord Vishnu gives to his true devotees the wealth of the Sastra knowledge-the deeper and clearer understanding of the Science of Reality.
571. Divah-sprik – “The Sky-reaching.” The Lord who revealed His Universal Form to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Geeta.
572. Sarva-drik-vyaasah: - When considered as one word it means: “One who creates many omniscient men of wisdom.” One who encourages the spread of knowledge and thus turns out many men of wisdom and clearer understanding of life and the world. Or taken as two words its interpretation can mean: “One who is Omniscient and Vyasa.” This would mean, “The Lord who has expressed Him- self as Sri Veda Vyasa.” Vyasa is the poet-philosopher who codified, compiled and edited the Vedas and published them in four volumes-Rig Veda, with its 21 branches; Yajur Veda, with its 101 branches: Saama Veda, with its 1000 branches and the Atharvana Veda, with its 9 branches (or Saakhaas). He is the one who gave us the 18 Puranas and the Brahmasootras. Hence he is called: “The Omniscient Vyasa.”
573. Vaachaspatir-ayonijah - One who is a master of all knowledge (Vidyaas) and who is unborn through a mother’s womb.
