SrI:

NamO VenkatEsAya 

Dear BhakthAs of the Lord of Saptha Giri :

Let us reflect today on the Ninth & the Tenth
naamAs of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam 

The Ninth NaamA of Sri VenkatEsa AshtOttharam
***********************************************

(PraNavam) PrabhavE nama: is the 9th Naamam.

The Eighth Naamam : Meaning
****************************
(PraNavam) PRABHAVE nama: = SALUTATIONS TO THE LORD 
WHO IS THE LORD AND MASTER. IN THE CASE OF BHAGAVAAN,
HE IS THE SUPREME MASTER OF ALL . 

Niruktham defines "Prabhu " this way:

BrahmAdhInAm cha sarvEshAm BhOga Moksha samarpaNE
SamarTa: Prabhu: ithyuktha:sarvEshtaphaladhO manu:

As Prabhu , He is capable of conferring BhOgam and Moksham
even to BrahmA and other Devaas .He is SarVabhIshta Daayakan.

SrI VenkatEsan . 

Additional Comments
********************
"Prabhu: " is the 35th SrI VishNu Sahsra Naamam.
The Text is:

"sambhavO bhAvanO BarthA Prabhava PRABHU:Isvara:"

"Prabhava Prabhu:" and " Prabhu: Isvara:"
are the two ways of juxtaposing the nAmam ,
"Prabhu:".Prabhava: is the 34th VishNu Sahasra Naamam 
and Isvara is the 36th Naamam. "Prabhu:" is sandwiched 
between Prabhava: and Isvara: for a special reason. 

"Prabhava:" refers one of exalted and sublime birth .
"Prabhu:" means one who is Omnipotent and all powerful.
He as the Lord of the world is capable of conferring
all purushArTams including Moksham , which no other
God can grant.Thus He is all powerful Lord (Prabhu:).

"PrabhurIsvara: " means the Lord , who is the Supreme
Ruler. When this Lord incarnates , He keeps the power
of ruling as Isvaran " Prabhu: and Isvaran". 

The Tenth Naamam:
*****************
(PraNavam) SESHAADHRI NILAYAAYA NAMA: is the 10th naamam.

Meaning:
********
This nAmam refers to Lord VenkatEsan having Seshaadhri 
as His favorite abode. The Sthala PurANam states that
in a mighty contest between Vaayu and AdhisEshan ,
a piece of Meru mountain was blown away as AdhisEshan
bound himself tightly to it and that piece landed
in today's Thirumalai. SrIman NaarAyaNa comforted 
AdhisEshan with the assurance that His aalayam in
Kali yugam will stay on top of AdhisEshan's seven 
heads . These seven hills are saluted in SrI VenkatEsa 
SubrabhAtham ( SlOakm 15):

SrI Seshasaila GaruDAchala VenkaDAdhri
NaaraayaNAdhri VrushabhAdhri VrushAdhri MukhyAm
aakhyAm TvadhIya vasatEr-anisam vadanthi
SrI VenkataachalapathE ! Tava SubrabhAtham 

( Oh Lord of Venkatam hills! The abode of Thine is 
always called by several names , as SrI Seshasailam ,
GaruDAchalam , VenkatAdhri, NaarAyaNAdhri , VrushabhAdhri,
VrushAdhri (and AnjanAdhri). The peak of these seven hills 
is Seshadhri , which is where You reside) .

SeshAdhrinilayan is the Supreme Lord , who has as 
His aasthAnam/nilayam/abode on Sesha Hills. 

This nAmam reminds one of the famous prayer of 
Droupadhi , when BhagavAn rushed to protect Her,
as she was being humiliated at the court of KouravAs:

" Sankha Chakra GadhApANE DwarakA-NilayAchyutha "

DwarakA-Nilyan is Lord KrishNan on the west coast 
and SeshAdhri-Nilayan is SrI VenkatEsan in His
southern hills saluted by the TENTH Naamam.

We conclude with this posting the first ten naamAs of 
the AshtOtthara Satha Naamam for SrI VenkatEsa Para Brahmam.

"MaathA PithA BhrAthA nivAsa:SaraNam suhruth gathi SrinivAsa:"
