 Additional Comments on this "avyayAya " Tatthvam
 ******************************************
 Swamy ParAsara Bhattar derives the word " avyaya " from the verb " na veeyatE " , which means that the liberated soul arriving at SrI Vaikuntam is not turned away ever from there . This nAmA is based on the pramANams from ChAndhOgya Upanishad passages ( 4.15.6 and 8.15.1) , Brahma Soothram, Yama smruthi and Bhagavad GitA:

 1. " yEthEna prathipadhyamAnA imam mAnavam aavatham na aavarthanthE "--ChAndhOgyam: 4.15.6

 ( " They who go by this path (i-e. archirAdhi mArgam ) attain Bhagavan and ) do not come back to this mortal world ").

 2. "na cha punarAvarthathE na cha punarAvarthathE " ---ChAndhOgyam : 8.15.1

 ( " He does not return ; He does not return ").

 3. " anAvrutthi sabdhAth anAvrutthi sabdhAth " ----Brahma Soothram : 4.4.22

 ( " There is no return according to the scriptures  There is no return according to scriptures ").

 4. Yama Smruthi also says in this context: " The MukthA bears a body of pure and subtle satthvA and attains the Supreme Lord , who is the ParamAthmA at the Superior and glorious Vaikuntam . Then he ( Muktha Jeevan ) becomes fit for immortality and does not come back (to this world) any more. " (--amruthathvAya kalpathE na nivarthatE vai puna:).

 mAm upEthya punarjanam dukkhAlayam asAsvatham
 nApnuvanthi mahAthmaana: samsiddhim paramAm gathA:

 Aabrahma-bhuvanAllOkA: punarAvarthinOarjuna
 MaamupEthya thu KounthEya punarjanma na vidhyathE
 ---Bhagavad GitA: 8.15 & 16

 " Having attained Me , the great souls are never again subject to birth , which is transient and is the abode of sorrow. They have found the highest perfection.

 All the worlds , down from the realm of Brahma, are subject to return(destruction and rebirth) , Oh ArjunA . But on reaching Me , there is no rebirth ".

 Parama Purushan"s  sankalpam frees the muktha jeevan from the cycles of births and deaths and leads to  the salutation " AvyayAya nama:".
