31) Ananta sirase Sri Venkatesaaya
nama:
Salutations to Lord Venkatesa with thousands of heads displayed during
His Visvaroopam to Arjuna , Agathya (Vaamana Puraanam ) and other bhakthaas
! This Visvaroopam
contained all that constituted the innumerable universes and galaxies and
sported innumerable heads, eyes and feet.
This tirunaamam is a direct
derivation from the Purusha Sukta vaakya, "Sahasra Seersha Purusha:",
the word "Sahasram" referring to innumerability, rather than to a
mere thousand.
All the comments made in respect
of "Anata charanaya nama: , Ananthaakshaaya nama:" hold
good for this naama too.
As if to confirm the Lord's
innumerable heads, the Narayana Anuvaakam too says, "Sahasraseersham
Devam Visvaaksham Visvasambhuvam".This is perhaps what enables the Lord
to know immediately whatever takes place in any nook or corner of the
Universe, as Sri Nathamuni remarks--"Yo vetti yugapat sarvam pratyakshena
sadaa svata:". The Vishnusahasranama Stotra too confirms that the Lord
has not merely innumerable heads and feet, but countless forms as well, to go
with the former--"ananta roopa:"
