VISHNU SAHASRANAMA Meaning

ராதே கிருஷ்ணா 08-10-2019


SIX QUESTIONS OF YUDHISHTIRA TO BHEESMACHARYA (VISHNU SAHASRANAMA)



There are several sahasranama’s of the Lord and the demigods amongst which the most famous is the ‘Vishnu Sahasranama’, the 1000 names of the Lord Vishnu. Vishnu sahasranama is part of the ‘Daana-dharma’ parva of Mahabharata as said by Shri Bheesma to Dharmaraja. Pujya Shri Bannanje Govindacharya has narrated the following story several times in his discourses.
After the Kurukshetra war, Shri Krishna turns very grim at dusk. (Shri Govindacharya says that Shri Krishna during His leela on this planet was always smiling and never got serious. It is said that even when Gandhari cursed Him that His entire clan of Yadus will be wiped out, He smiled and said what a blessing from a married woman.) Noticing Shri Krishna unusually serious, the Pandavas ask Him the reason. Krishna replies saying, ‘The sun is setting’. Not understanding the hidden meaning, the Pandavas ask Him to explain. He then reveals that Bheesmacharya who having sought the boon to leave this body at will has decided the time for him to leave this body has come. That is the reason for lamentation as the ‘sun of knowledge and wisdom’ is going to sink from this planet. This goes to show how much the Lord likes His devotees.

Shri Krishna then takes Pandavas to Bheesmacharya who is lying on a bed of arrows in Kurukshetra. The Lord asks him to impart knowledge to the Pandavas. Yudhishtira asked Bheesmacharya these six questions, which are as prequel to the sahasranama are –
Q1. Kim ekam daivatam loke ? (Who is the greatest Lord in the world?)
A1. Pavitranam pavitram yo mangalaanam cha mangalam | Daivatam devetaanaaam cha bhootanaam yo avyayah pitaa ||
He who is the very sanctity, which sanctifies all sacred things; He who is the most auspicious; He who is the God of Gods; He who is the Eternal Father of all creatures is the one God – Vishnu.
Q2. Kim vaapyekam paraayanam ? (Who is the one refuge for all)
A2. Paramam yo mahat-tejah paramam yo mahat-tapah | Paramam yo mahat-brahma paramam yah paraayanam ||
He who is the Great Effulgence; He who is the Great Controller; He who is the Supreme All Pervading Truth; He who is the Highest (param) Goal (ayanam) – The Lord Vishnu
Q3. Stuvantam kam praapnuyuh maanavah subham? (By glorifying whom can man reach Auspiciousness (peace and prosperity))
A3. Jagat-prabhum deva-devam anantam purushottamam | stuvan naama-sahasrena purushah satotthitah ||
The Supreme Purusha, who is the Lord of the world, who is God of Gods, Who is Eternal, Who is best among all. One should always glorify that Lord Sri Maha-Vishnu by chanting His thousand names.
Q4. Kam archantah praapnuyuhmaanavah subham? (By worshipping whom can man reach Auspiciousness (peace and prosperity)
A4. Tameva cha archayan nityam bhaktyaa purusham avyayam | Dhyayan stuvan nama-syamschha yajamanah thameva cha
By meditating upon, by worshipping and by prostrating at the same Purusha, man can reach true auspiciousness.
Q5. Ko dharmah sarva-dharmaanaam bhavatah paramo matah? (What is, in thy opinion, the Greatest Dharma)
Q6. Kim japan muchyate jantuh janma-samsaara bandhanaat? By doing japa of what can “creatures” jantu go beyond the bond of samsar)
A5 & 6. Anaadi-nidhanam vishnum sarvaloka-mahesvaram | lokaadhyaksham stuvan nityam sarva dukha atigo bhavet ||
The greatest dharma is the one Vishnu, who has neither a beginning (aadi) nor an end (Nidhanam), the Supreme Lord of the world. He who regularly glorifies the ‘the Knower of the world’ (Lokaadhyaksha) becomes free from all miseries and goes beyond all sorrows.
After thus answering Dharmaraja’s questions Bheesmacharya goes on to describe the 1000 names of the Lord starting from, ‘Om Vishvam vishnuvashatkaro…’. There are 1031 names of the Lord out of which 31 are considered qualifying adjectives. Acharya Madhva says every name in Vishnu Sahasranama has atleast 100 meanings.

Vishnu Sahasranamam

Translated by P.R. Ramachander
The Vishnu Sahasranam is found in the Mahabharatha. Literally translated this means thousand names of Vishnu. This is found in the Anushasanika Parvam (chapter relating to orders or rules to the kings) of Mahabharatha.
Bheeshma Pitamaha was defeated and grievously wounded by Arjuna. But since he could choose the time of his death as per the boons received by him, he chose to die in Uttarayana and was waiting for the auspicious time. Meanwhile the war was over leading to death of all those male members in his family except the Pancha Pandavas and the unborn child of Abhimanyu. Yudishtra the eldest of the Pandavas became the King of Hasthinapura and whom else would he go for advise other than Bheeshma the great. Anushasanika Parva is in the form of questions and answers between Yudishtra and Bheeshma Pitamaha.To a question as to what is the best possible stotra, Bheeshma answers that it is the Vishnu Sahasra Nama and teaches it to Yudishtra.
Though it describes one thousand aspects and praises of the lord, it is not simple and easy to understand. Many great Acharyas lead by Sankara Bhagavat Pada, felt a need to give its meaning in crystal clear terms so that the devotee can not only sing but meditate on the aspect of the God he is praising. But this again was done in Sanskrit. With the modern civilization several translations of this stotra is available in English and in almost all major languages of India.
Though it is called Sahasra Nama in fact it contains only 901 distinct sounding names. Eight hundred and fifteen names are repeated once, Seventy-five of these names are repeated twice, nine of these names thrice and two of these names four times. The acharyas have attempted to give different meanings to the same word in different places successfully.
In the afterward to the stotra Goddess Parvathi asks Siva the cosmic god for an easy way to sing this stotra for the learned. He replies that it is sufficient that the learned one repeats the name of Rama and this is equivalent to his singing of sahasranama. It is important to note that this is easy method is prescribed to the very learned who do not have time to recite it daily and not for everybody,
