Kaattumannar Koil Veera Naarayana
The 73rd Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
****************************************
Jagadh-vyApinE Nama:

One who is pervasively present in all chEthnams and achEthanams.

The lakshaNam of VishNu is invoked here again.

ChAndhOgya Upanishad declares : " Sarvam Khalvidham Brahma tajjaalAnithi sAntha upAseetha" ( " All this is verily Brahman as this  is born of Brahman , withdrawn in to Brahman and as it is living in Brahman").

In instructions to SvEthakEthu, Uddaalaka reveals that all entities in the prapancham have Brahman ( Sath) as their aathmA :

sa ya yEshONimaitha dhAthmyamidham  sarvam Tadh satyam sa AathmA
---ChAndhOgyam: 6.13.3

here the Upanishad points out that He is the Jagath KaaraNan and is therefore present in a pervasive manner in all created entities. Swamy  NammAzhwAr follows this line of thought and says:

TidavisumperivaLi neer nilamivaimisai
padar poruL muzhuvathumAi avai avai thoRum
udanmisai uyirenak-karanthengum paranthuLan
sudar mihu suruthiyuL ivai uNDa suranE

---ThiruvAimozhi: 1.1.7

(Meaning): " Everybody is sure to admit the existence of the five elements . The Lord created them in the order, ether, fire, air, water  and earth. Out of them , he wrought all the others. Indeed He became all the others. He pervades everything in and out. He is the soul  for  the  body of  every being  and every thing , controlling and directing ,  but  being  invisible. In the final deluge , He devours all and thus destroys the Prapancham that existed as Naama-Roopam and protrcts them in a small portion of His stomach during the PraLayam as avyaktham .

All  this  knowledge  about the Lord and His relationship to the  world is obtained  from  the Supreme authority , the VedAs , of excellent effulgence --the  VedAs, which are authorless , timeless , endless , faultless and which sustain  propagation , through the ages , only orally without a writing process for transmission"

The Jagath VyApakathvam of the Lord and the supporting scriptures are covered by this naamam .
