Sri:

Dear Sri HayagrIva BhakthAs :

Let us reflect further on additional Sahasra Naamams of Lord HayagrIvan !
We will take up the next set of Sri HayagrIva Sahasra Naamams
in the next  posting .

Selected NaamAs from 212-
***********************************
212) PurANAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is in the form
of Saathvika PurANams ! He is PurANa Roopi .

213) IthihAsAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , whose Vaibhavam is
being celebrated in the two IthihAsams ! He is IthihAsa Roopi .

214) SmruthayE Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is
blessing us through the Smruthis (Tradiitonal scriptures , which
include the VedAngAs ( limbs of Vedams) , the law books ( Dharma
SaasthrAs) , the epics (IthihAsAs) and PurANAs like VishNu PurANam .
At  another level Smruthi  covers perception as a valid means of knowledge.

215) SoothrAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan presiding over
the SoothrAs .

SoothrA here can refer to Brahma SoothrAs or Kalpa SoothrAs .
SoothrAs in general are set  as aphorisms ( extremely condensed
and cryptic statements) requiring a commentary (BhAshyam) for explanation of
the TatthvArTams . Kalpa SoothrAs are one of the six limbs of VedAs
to help us conduct Vedic YaagAs and SamskArAs . Kalpa Texts are either
Srauta SoothrAs , which relate to the VedAs/Srithis  or SmArta SoothrAs that
are based on Smruthis .

216) SamhithAyai Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is in the form
of the various Veda Samhithais .

217) AachArAya nama: Salutations  to Lord HayagrIvan ,  the Moola Purushan
for Vedic AachAram ( religious conduct ) . There are dhAnta aachAram
(Doctrinal approach to good religious conduct ) , which is established
over time as KulAchAram ( traditional approach practised by the austere
families) .

220) SrImathE Nama: Salutations to Lord Hayagrivan filled with the bliss
of auspiciousness .

221) SrIgirE nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is present as
the sacred veda Vaak (speech) .

222) Sriya: KaanthAya nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , the divine
consort
of SrI Devi !

229) SrithavathsalAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who has
the greatest affection for those , who have sought His refuge !

244-246) SathyAya Nama: , JN~AnAya Nama: , AnanthAya Nama:
Here is an Upanishadic salutation : " Satyam  Jn~Anam anantham
BrahmA ". The essential nature (Svaroopam) of Brahman is Satya ( Real) ,
Jn~Ana ( Knowledge) and ananta (Infinite) . " Satyam-Jn~Anam Anantam
Brahma" is the LakshaNa Vaakyam for Brahman and it is saluted here thru
three contiguous HayagrIva  Sahsra Naamams.

244) Brahman is saluted by BruhadAraNyaka Upanishad as " Satyasa Sathyam"
( Reality of the Real) . Brahman is understood here as "Satya " because
it is never subject to any kind of changes ( nirvikhAra Satya svaroopam) .

245) The Jn~Ana svaroopam of  Brahman is understood as pure consciousness .
Different Upanishads describe the Jn~Anam in different and yet complimentary
ways . TaittirIyam states that Brahman possesses " knowledge as an attribute
( Jn~AnaguNakan). The extension of this definition is that Lord HayagrIvan
is
Sarvajn~an ( Omniscient) . BruhadAraNyam salutes Him as " Vijn~AthrA " .
That also means He is a Sarvajn~an and Jn~AnaguNakan. Jn~Anam combined
with Sakthi enables the Brahman to create this Universe of Naama-Roopa
form , indwellership in all created objects,  niyanthA (controllership) of
them ,
nourishing the created objects and ultimately dissolving them .

246) Ananta means infinite and it denotes the inherent nature (Svaroopam)
and and  distinguishing charactrestric of Brahman. Brahman as Ananta"  is
infinite because of its omnipresence , it exists all the time and it
pervades all
the objects in the universe".  Therefore HayagrIvan saluted by the NaamA of
Ananta is " infinite  both with respect to Svaroopam and dharma".

250) BrahmamayAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HyagrIvan , who is
the embodiment of Brahman !

251) AchyuthAya Nama : Salutations to the Lord , who never fails
anyone , who has sought His refuge . AdiyArkaLai KaividAthavan .
He is Natha Sathyan . He is adiyavarkku Meyyan . In the very first
slOkam of His Achyutha Sathakam , Swamy Desikan appeals to
aasthikAs to prostrate before the eternal JyOthi , Achyuthan ,
who is forever true to His aasrithALs( Namatha ThridhsAnAm NaaTam
Sathyam DhAsAnAm Achyutham sTirajjyOthi: ) . He never lets down anyone ,
who has sought His protection thru Prapatthi . Therefore , He is known
as Achyuthan and DhAsa Satyan .

252) agrEbhavathE Nama: Salutations to the Lord , who appears before
the devotees , who perform japam on His Manthram andmeditate on Him .
This is exactly waht happened to Swamy Desikan on top of Oushadha Giri .

253) NagAya Nama: Salutations to the Lord in the form of the Mountain
( Oushadha Giri).  It is customary for AzhwArs and AchAryAs to equate
the Lord to the mountain ( ThiruvEnkatam , Hasthi Giri ,
ThirumAlirumchOlai).

254) NithyAya Nama: Salutations to the Lord , who is eternal in existence .

255) ParamAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is the Supreme
among gods ( Parama Purushan ).

256) PurushOtthamAya Nama: Salutations to the Lord , who is the Supreme
Self . He has full control over the Kshara( perishable ) Selves and the
freed selves (akshara).He is " the Supreme person because of His Supreme
greatness in being antagonistic to all that is evil and in being endowed
with auspicious attributes , which are different in kind from both the
perishable
and imperishable selves ". On entering the earth , PurushOtthaman upholds
all beings and nourishes all herbs (oushadhis) with His strength . About
Himself, Lord declares in the 15th slOkam of the 15th Chapter of GeethA
( PurushOtthma Yogam) that He is seated in the hearts of all . He says
further that
as PurushOtthaman, He controls the memory , Knowledge and their removal as
well .
He points out that He alone is the One to be known through all the VedAs and
that He
brings about the fruition of the rituals of the VedAs and He is the knower
of the
VedAs. Thus PurushOtthman identifies Himself as the Supreme Self (
ParamAthman).

257) YoganidhrAparAya Nama: Salutations to that Yoga HayagrIvan , who
is in Yoga SamAdhi , where He contemplates on the ways to save the Bhaddha
Jeevans from their sufferings . The archA Moorthy of Yoga Hayagrivan was
presented to Swamy Desikan by VyanathEyar on OushadhAdhri hills , That
ArchA Moorthy is still being worshipped at Thiruvaheendhrapuram .

258) SwAminE Nama: Salutations to HayagrIvan , who is the Master of All !
He is the Lord of All ! Swami also means spiritual perceptor , the Aadhi
Guru .

265-267) AanandhAya Nama: , SarvAn nandhayathE nama: , and AanandhinE
Nama: /// Here Sri HayagrIvan is saluted as the Bliss Principle (Aanandha).
Aanandham is both the Svaroopam and dharmam (distinguishing attributes).
He is the top of the Five kOsams as " aanandha maya kOsam " according to
TaitthirIya Upanishad.The Aanandha of Brahman is infinite bliss. Brahma
Soothram says in thsi context: " AanandhamayO abhyAsAth". The Upanishad
shows the identity of Brahman as Aanandham: " AanandhO BrahmEthi vyajAnAth".

266) SarvAn nandhayathE Nama: He is Raaman , abhirAman . He is JaganmOhanan.
He gladdens the heart of all , who has His darsana soubhAgyam . Through His
SarvAnga Soundharyam , Souseelyam , Soulabhyam and other KalyANa guNams ,
Lord HayagrIvan immerses His bhakthAs in an ocean of bliss .

267) AanandhinE Nama: Salutations to the Lord on Oushadha Giri , who derives
great joy in welcoming the SaraNaagathAs and confers sakala soubhAgyams on
them . Thirumangai salutes the Veda Moorthy as "yemakkum yeentharuLum
Yanthai ". The words "yeenthu aruLum " are a powerful set . They suggest
that
He confers on us the soubhAgyams that we asked for as well as those that
we did not even think about . Such is His oudhAryam and He takes a great joy
in
granting all those boons .
