 Additional Comments on the Jn~Ana Panjara Tatthvam

 Swamy Desikan 's SrI VaradarAja PanchAsath slOkam (20th slOkam ) is pertinent here:

 NaagAchalEsa nikhilOpanishad-maneeshA--
 manjUshikA-Marakatham parichinvathAm ThvAm
 tanvI hrudhi sphurathi kAapi sikhA munInAm
 soudhAmanIeeva nibruthA nava-mEgha-garbhA:

 (meaning): Oh Lord VaradarAjA! Thou art like the Emerald gem inside the beautiful (glass) box of Upanishads. You are thus the marakatha MaNi VaNNan sitting inside the Upanishad manthrams. This is so because , all Upanishads (Jn~Ana KaaNdam) speak in a single voice about Your glories . You thus become the inner meaning of the Upanishads. You with Your hue of dark rain cloud are also shining forth as a radiant flame (JwAlai/lightning) inside the hearts of the Sages (Jn~Anis) , who are performing Tapas. They meditate upon the agni jwAlai inside their heart cavity during this tapas .

 That Lord is the Utthama Jn~Anam is indicated by the VishNu sahasra Naamam , "SughOshAya Nama:" (459th Naamam. This nAmam means that He is saluted by the voice of Upanishads as the Supreme Jn~Ana svaroopan. He is the protector of DharmA ( "Dharma -gup, 476th VishNU Sahasra Naamam).He is Dharma-krith (Practioner of His dharmAs, 477th Naamam). He is Dharmee ( He is the One with Dharma as His instrument, 478th Naamam). Jn~Anis comprehend Him as " Sadaksharam " ( One who is eternal without decrease or destruction. His Jn~Ana Svaroopam never alters , 480th Naamam ).

 Thus the Lord of Saptha Giri sits inside the auspicious cage of Upanishads as an emerald gem with "SahasrAmsu: " , thousand rays of Knowledge (Jn~Anam). That is why He is saluted as  Jn~Ana Panjaran.
