sadgatih satkritih sattaa sadbhootih satparaayanah
sooraseno yadusreshthah sannivaasah suyaamunah

699. Sadgatih – “The goal of good and noble seekers.” Lord Narayana is the Spiritual Goal to be reached. “The Good” here means those who know the existence of Brahman, for the Upanishad says: “If a person knows ‘Brahmaji exists,’ then the wise call him ‘good.”
700. Sat-kritih – “One Who is full of Good Actions.” Lord Hari is the One Who maintains the rhythm of creation and the logic of its preservation. Even through His destructive activities, there is creation only for the sake of the individual and for the good of the world. All His actions are totally in harmony for the establishment of Peace.
701. Sattaa - The Lord is the “One without a second,” and, therefore, remains ever the same, without any differences of genus, species or in Itself.”
702. Sad-bhootih – “One Who has Rich Glories.” The term ‘Glories’ means wealth, power, happiness Or “One who has taken different kinds of Incarnations,” exhibiting in all of them the glories of the Supreme. So immeasurable are the Lord’s Glories that even all these splendours scarcely reveal His Divine Might. Him, whom even the Devas know not; only the Yogis in meditation come to perceive His Eternal Glory.
703. Sat-paraayanah – The Supreme Goal for the “Good” who pursue the path of Truth. Here the “Good” means those who are the Knowers of Brahman.
704. Soora-senah – “One who has heroic and valiant armies” The Incarnations as Rama and Krishna are indicated here in whose armies there were valiant people like Hanuman and Lakshmana, Arjuna, Bheema and others.
705. Yadusreshthah – “The Best among the Yadava clan.” The Glory of the Yadavas-Lord Krishna, Who was an Incarnation of Sree Hari.
706. Sannivaasah – “The Abode of the Good.” The great souls of realisation come to live in Him, the Self; drowned in God-Consciousness, they beam out from that Abode their divinity all around. Bhagavan in Geeta says: “My devotee thus knowing (realising the Truth, the jneyam, seated in the heart of all) enters into My Being.”
707. Suyaamunah - One who is attended by the righteous Yaamunas-meaning Gopas who live on the Yamuna banks. In a metaphysical sense, these Gopas are not the keepers of ‘cows,’ but the keepers of the sacred milk of Knowledge-Upanishads.
