Dear Sri Jagadiah :
UpalakshaNam is a Loaded word and is also cryptic.
Its meaning depends on context . It is used in esoteric
meanings of individual passages of ThiruppAvai (16th SlOkam ),
Brahma Soothram ( II.2.3 ) , BhAgavatham ( 5.2.18 , 5.20.40 ) ,
Sri Rahasya Thraya Saaram (Dhvaya Manthram : Utthara
KhANDam) . Context is needed to know the particualr meaning of UpalakshaNam
.
UpalakshaNam generally means extending , symbolized ,
having the characterestrics .
LakshaNam is a Mark ( like the Lord having Sri Devi as
a distinguishing mark on His chest and being recognized as
Sriya: Pathi) . Upa as a prefix to verbs & means "towards".
UpalakshaNam also means ascertaining , an inference - - - -
That is the beauty of Sanslrit Language .
I have copied Sanskrit Scholar , Sri V.C.Govindarajan at Muscat for
further comments on the word "UpalakshaNam " .
NamO Sri VenkatEsAya ,
V.Sadagopan
