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 " .
