araudrah kundalee chakree vikramyoorjitasaasanah
sabdaatigah sabdasahah sisirah sarvareekarah
906. Araudrah – “One who has none of the negative terrible urges and emotions.” The State of Perfection is a condition where the frailties of the mortal heart can never remain. The Lord is One in Whom the cruelties which rule the man of the world-likes, dislikes, hatredness, jealousy and his other imperfections-can never abide or even be contained.
907. Kundalee – “One Who wears the famous ear-ring called the Makara-Kundala.” The term Kundalee also signifies the ‘Serpent’-hence the Kundalinee-Sakti-the ‘Serpent-Power’-the coiled mystic-glory lying now inert, uninvoked at the base of the back-bone in the deep pelvic region. Here the ‘Serpent’ may be taken as the thousand- tongued Ananta on whom Sree Narayana is described as ever reclining in His Yoga-rest. In all religions, ‘Serpent,’ it seems, symbolises the ‘mind.’ In Hinduism it is true. Whether it is in Krishna’s dance on the Kaaliyan-Serpent, or Siva wearing as ornaments the Serpents (Bhooshana), or Sree Hari resting upon Ananta-the idea is always the conquest of the mind, the poisonous serpent.
908. Chakree – “He Who wears ever His Discus called Su-Darsana (Auspicious Vision).” The Lord destroys with the Discus only the foul and the low in us and the individual naturally gains the Experience Divine, the Self.
909. Vikramee – “He Who is more daring than all others.” The term is also interpreted: “One who travels by air,” as ‘Vi’ means Bird. Famous is the allegory that Lord Vishnu travels on the back of the white-necked Eagle. 910. Oorjita-saasanah – “One who commands and administers with His Hand.” His commands in the scriptures advise us firmly what is right to do and what are the destructive forces in each one of us. In case man decides to disobey His Laws, He severely punishes him on all such occasions. Disobedience of Laws is immediately followed by His loving curative punishment. It permits no exceptions; accepts no excuses; admits no circumstantial conditions.
911. Sabdaatigah – “He who transcends all words”-One who is Indescribable. The Vedas themselves are but indications ‘pointing to Truth’ and are not explaining, describing or even defining Truth. The Infinite and the Eternal Truth is beyond even the Vedas, beyond all that can be gained through even the highest faculties of the finite equipments (mind and intellect).
912. Sabda-sahah – “One who allows Him- self to be invoked by the Vedic declarations.” If, however, the Upanishadic declarations are properly reflected and sincerely meditated upon, even though the Vedas have failed to define Truth, their contemplative implications can transport us into the realms of the Infinite Experience-Divine.
913. Sisirah - The term means winter, the cold season. In India it is the cool season. Therefore, by suggestion, this name indicates that the Lord is the ‘cool arbour’ for those who are tortured by the heat of Samsar.
914. Sarvaree-karah - The word Sarvaree means ‘night’ or ‘darkness’; therefore, the term defines the Lord as “One Who creates darkness.” To the men of realisation, our world of sorrows and pains, of strains and stresses, of worries and anxieties are unknown -while to those who live in their ego-sense, to them the Real is unknown ! The unknown means ‘veiled in darkness.’ The subtle meaning is clear now.
