The First Ten NaamAs of Sri VenkatEsa AshtOttharam **************************************************** 1. (PraNavam) SrI VenkatEsAya nama:> 2. (PraNavam) SrivAsAya nama: 3. (PraNavam) LakshmI PathayE nama: 4. (Pranavam) anAmayAya nama: 5. (PraNavam) amruthAmsAya nama: ****************************** 6. (Pranavam) Jagadh-vandhyAya nama: 7. (PraNavam) GovindhAya nama: 8. (PraNavam) SaasvathAya nama: 9. (PraNavam) PrabhavE nama: 10.(Pranavam) SEshAdhri-nilayAya nama: The Fifth Naamam : Meaning **************************** "(PraNavam) amruthAmsAya nama: = OUR LORD IS THE NECTAR-RAYED MOON in cooling us from the scorching heat of samsAram and rejuvenating us from the death of kaivalyam. This is also an echo of the 284th naamam of SrI VishNu Sahasra nAmam ( amrutha-amsu-udhbhavAya nama:). The Moon is recognized as taking its birth from the mind of the MahA Purushan in Purusha Sooktham ( ChandramA ManasO Jaatha:). Therefore , Moon has acquired the most benovolent attributes of BhagavAn such as Taapa samanam and mrutha sanjeevanam ( banishing of the heat of samsAram and rejuvenation from the life without Bhagavathanubhavam through the KaivalyAnubhavam). Additional comments ******************** Our Lord is Amrutha-maya amsu. He feeds us with the enjoyment of the most nourishing nectar of His guNAnubhavam. This caring and nourishing quality of the Lord arising from His dayA guNam is recognized by the 819th nAmam of SrI VishNu Sahasra Naamam : amruthAsAya nama: This amrutha-amsan feeds us with the amrutham of ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavam as amruthAsan as celebrated in Taitthiriya Upanishad Aanandhavalli Vaakyams ( Sa yEkO BrahmaNa aanandha:, rasam hyEvAyam laBdhvA aanandhI bhavathi). When the Nectar-rayed Moon of our Lord (amruthAmsu) feeds us with those nectar rays (Bhagavath GuNAnubhavam), the jeevan rises up from his sarIram , enters the 101st naadi with the help of those nectar rays of the Lord and attains the Supreme Brahman and becomes manifest in his own true nature as revealed by the ChAndhOgya Upanishad passage(8.12.2): "yEvam yeva yEsha samprasAdhA asmAth sarIrAth samutthAya Param JyOthi upasampadhya svEna roopENa abhinishpadhyathE " That is the power of the amrutha kiranam of the Moon on top of Venkata Giri that is celebrated through this Fifth nAmam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOtthara Satham .
