436. Anirviṇṇaḥ:
He never gets tired of his creation or never becomes despondent because
He is ever self-fulfilled. Whatever he does, He does with utsaha or excitement.
Nirvinna means nirveda or vairaigya (dispassion) when we perform the
same task again and again or we are unable to fulfill what we sets out to
achieve.
Anirvinna means one who has no dispassion towards the work that he does.
Aapta kamatvaat nirvedah asya na vidyate iti anirvinna.
He is siddha sankalpa, he achieves what he wants to and is contented
with what he does. He never loses enthusiasm though he performs the same task
of creating, destroying and recreating the universe.
The lesson for is that we must also never get tired or despondent of our
bhakti towards him. The cycle of shravan, manana and nidhidhyasana must go on
till our last breath with the same enthusiasm every single day.
The Bhagavad Gita, 6.24 gives us a lesson in not giving up.
sa niscayena yoktavyo yogo 'nirvinna-cetasa
sankalpa-prabhavan kamams tyaktva sarvan asesatah
manasaivendriya-gramam viniyamya samantatah
The practice of Yoga should be filled with determination and one should patiently carry out his practices without any deviation. He should not become disheartened or discouraged if there is a delay in the attainment of success. success is sure for the rigid practitioner.
437. Sthaviṣṭhaḥ:
Atishena sthira sthavista

how difficult the situation is.
sta means to stand ; vishtah- big or of immense proportions
Vairaja rupena sthitah sthavistah
He is of immense proportions which is revealed in his vishvaroopa or his cosmic form.
Sthoolyaat stahvisthah.
He can be smaller than the smallest atom or he can be ‘mahato mahiyan’ larger than the largest.
He is both sookshama and sthoola
438. Bhūḥ:
Bhavati iti bhuh
Bhuh means He who exists.
His existence is permanent. We have a temporary
existence. He is always present.
This name can also be interpreted as Abhuh.
Abhuh means the one who does exist. The one
without birth.
Ajanma abhuh – he does not have birth hence
abhuh.
But when we meditate upon him we realise by our experience he exist
hence he is bhuh.
439. Dharma-yūpaḥ:
Yupah or sthamba means a pillar or a post used
in yajna to which the animal is tied.
Dharma upah means the pillar of dharma.
Yupe pashuvat tatsamara dhanatmaka dharmah
tatra badhyante iti dharmayupah.
The sacrificial post of Dharma, to which he is
attached just like a sacrificial animal is attached to a Yupa or a sacrificial
post.
This teaches us that those who follow dharma
are always tied to the Lord and are always protected by him.
440. Mahāmakhaḥ:
Makhah means yajna
A yajna become maha when it is offered to the
supreme being.
That is why at the end of all worship we say Sarvam Krishnarpanamastu.
He is the goal. All sacrifices are unto him.
Yasmin arpitah makah yajnah nirvana lakshana
phalam prayachchantah mahantah jayante sa mahamakah
Every sacrifice we do is for him as they lead
the path to liberation or moksha.
All the kriyas we perform are offered to him.

Nemih means the hub of the chakra
Nakshtra nemih means he is at the hub of the chakra of the entire
nakshatra mandala
He rotates the nakshatra as a chakra and controls everything from there.
The nakshtra mandala is in the form of a scorpion, at the tail end is
the Dhruva star, and other stars.
Lord takes the form of Shimshumara form and resides in it and regulates
the entire universe. The head and the
tail connects the bhu and bhuvar loka.
Sa jyotisham charam bhramyan taramayasya shimshumarasya
puchadesha vyavastitah dhruvah tasya shimshumarasya hridaye jyotish chakrasya
nemivat pravartakah stithah vishnuriti nakshatranemih.
Nakshatra means light. He is controller
kshata means defeat or fall
Nakshata means one who protect us from fall or
defeat.
He protects us in the form of light.
Also, our karmas affect us in form of repeated
births.
We keep asking for relief from experiencing the
fruits of bad karma but Na + kshata means we cannot run away from the fruits of
our bad karmas.
442. Nakṣatrī:
Na means no ; Ksha means wound or defeat ; Tra
means protect ;
Tri means the one who protects.
He is
the one who has no defeat and does not need any one to protect him from
defeat.
He is reason for nakshatra to be . in his
control
The Bhagavad Gita 10.21 says, Nakshatranam aham
Shashi, he is the moon among the stars.
Also, Chandra rupena nakshatra, He is in the
form of the nakshatra - the Moon.
443. Kṣhamaḥ:
Kshamate iti kshama
He forgives and he stands steady with patience.
Sarvakaryeshu samarthah kshamah
One who is proficient in everything. He is
extremely skillful.
This teaches us that we must also stand steady
in the face of difficulties. In order to be proficient and skillful, we must be
patient and devoted to Him.
444. Kṣhaamaḥ:
Kshaamah means drought or wastage.
He brings a drought of jnana for the evil.
Sarva vikareshu Kshapiteshu svatmana avasthitah
He is never destroyed. The entire creation
undergoes destruction during pralaya but he remains as himself.
This teaches us that our mind undergoes a lot
of fluctuations, but when we surrender to him, all the unwanted thoughts are
destroyed except him. He alone pervades our minds.
445. Samīhanaḥ:
Sam (Good) + ehate (activities.)
He regulates everything in the universe and ensures that everything moves as per their destined positions. For eg. the sun rises every morning, the moon rises every night, he ensures that these destined positions do not change otherwise it creates chaos. He regulates Indra, Brahma and other deities so that they are well established in the respective positions.
He is a well-wisher for the creation, hence he is Samihanah.
Sristyadyartham samyak eehate iti samihanah.
Jai Shri Krishna!
