Guess the name of the perumal and Check the answer
 The 5th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
 **************************************
 " AMRUTHAAMSAAYA NAMA: = SALUTATIONS TO   THE  LORD , WHO IS THE NECTAR-RAYED MOON   IN COOLING US FROM THE SCORCHING HEAT OF   SAMSAARAM AND SAVING 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).

 ********************
 Our Lord is the 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, the jeevan rises from its sarIram , enters the 101st naadi and with the help of those nectar rays of the Lord  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
  ParmjyOthi rupam sampadhya svEna roopEna abhinishpadhyathE "

 He 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 .
