Dear bhaktas,

I have two questions and would be grateful if someone
would answer them.

First
I wanted to know the meaning of "pundarikAksha".
Please comment on the two different meanings that I
have read so I can better understand the word and its
context.

1. The first meaning is (pundari - lotus and aksha -
eyes) one who has eyes like lotus.

2. This is the second one that I found on
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/srirangasri/archives/feb03/msg00173.html

The word "pundarika" refers to "paramapada", the
eternal and
imperishable abode of God in Vaikuntah. The Lord
residing in
"pundarika" is hence called "pundarikAksha". 

Second
In the sahasranamam there are many instances where
lord is referred to as mahesvaram, which as I have
known refers to Lord Shiva. Also the sahasramam has
more such names that refer to Lord Shiva.
Please comment on this fact so that I can better
understand the context.

Thanks
