सोमपो-अमृतपः सोमः पुरुजित पुरुसत्तमः ।
विनयो जयः सत्यसंधो दाशार्हः सात्वतां पतिः ।।
505. Sōmapaḥ:
Pa - pibati means to drink.
Soma creeper leaves rasa were given as offering in yajna. This was
called soma yajna. The left over soma rasa was consumed by the people
participating in yajna as it has medicinal value.
Since the offering is made to the lord, and he partakes our offering, he
is called somapah
One who drinks the Soma in all Yajnas in the form of the Devata.
The Sri Suktam says,
Vainateya somam piba somam pibatu vrtrahaa
Somam dhanasya somino mahyam dadatu sominah
If we want the wealth of jnana, we must conquer the maya of the
mind. Drink the thoughts of mind , we
achieve the wealth of knowledge of the lord.
506. Amṛutapaḥ:
Svatmamrita rasam piban
He drinks the nectar of immortal bliss which symbolises
his own joyful nature.
The nectar is said to have been during the
Samudra mathana and bestowed immortality on the devas who drank it. the Lord
took the Mohini avatar to protect the nectar from the asuras.
Mohini avatara signifies maya which is the
cosmic mind (the minds of all put together, meaning other factors which affect
our mind) which pulls us towards it.
He drinks the thoughts of the cosmic mind,
hence he is amrutapah.
507. Sōmaḥ:
After the thoughts in the mind and the cosmic
mind has been consumed or destroyed what remains is the lord.
Sa + uma Uma refers to shakti (sat) and sa
refers to parameshwara (tyat)
It teaches us that the realisation of the Lord
is clouded by the thoughts of our own mind and the cosmic thoughts that
influence our mind. But once these thoughts are destroyed, all that remains is
the thoughts of the Lord.
Soma also refers to moon, which signifies mind.
The moon is calm and cool. Hence he is Somah.
It means we must drink the thoughts in our mind
and keep the mind in our control.
508. Purujit:
Puru means many or innumerable.
He gains victory over numerous people hence he
is Purujit. In every avatar of the lord he conquers everyone. He not only
conquers them, he also uses various means to conquer; by his captivating looks,
by his valour or by his dharma which is his inherent nature.
Purey shayane. The one who sleeps in this body
The one who has conquered the attachment over
this body, and realises that we are not the body, and the rajo and tamo guna is
destroyed and only sattva guna remains.
509. Purusattamaḥ:
The Lord shows his cosmic form or Vishvaroopa
and hence he is Puru and he is the best and the greatest hence he is sattamah.
He is Puru as well as sattama hence he is Purusattamah.
Vishvarupatvaat
purh, uthkrishtatvaat sattamah, purushchasau sattamascheti purusattamah
As His form is of cosmic dimension He is Puru
or great, and as He is the most important of all, He is Sattama.
He destroys the rajo and tamo guna and
increases the sattva guna.
510.Vinayaḥ:
Vinaya means to humility
He subdues or punishes evil ones by making them
humble or teaching them valuable lessons and hence he is vinayah.
Vinayam dandam karoti dushtanaam iti vinayah
Also, Vi +naya (neta) means he leads the
seekers to the path of dharma hence he is vinaya.
511. Jayaḥ:
Samastani bhutani jayati iti jayah
He is victorious over all beings and hence he
is jaya.
The victory is not just over the body but over
the heart and mind as well. Hence he is jaya in every sense.
510 and 511. Viniyojyah
Both names can be taken together too.
Vi (good) + niyojyah ( together)
Keeping the Lord together with us whenever we
start out on any actions is Viniyojya. It means the Lord must be inclusive in
every action of ours. When He himself is with us all our actions are guided by
his principles.
512. Satyasandhaḥ:
Sat + tyat + sandha (sankalpa or promise)
The promise to follow in the state of sat +
tyat ie. Brahma stithi.
Satya sandha sankalpa asya iti satyasandhah
He resolves to follow in the path of truth and
follows it up with his actions. Hence he is satyasandha.
The promises he makes are always true and he
never goes back on his words.
513. Dāśhārhaḥ:
Dasha means charitable offering. Therefore, He
to whom charitable offerings deserve to be made.
Daasho daanam tam arhati iti dasharhah
He accepts all our offerings including our sins
and if we offer our karma phalas to him, he accepts that and bestows us with
liberation.
Daasya – to stay in the brahma stithi we must
do complete surrender by kaya vacha manasa, to Vishnu. He is the only one who
is capable of accepting our surrender.
Daasharha kulodbhavaat
Yadu vamshis are called dasharha. He is called so as he was born in the
race of yadavas (as called by shishupal during yajna by yudhistira when agra
puja was being done for Krishna)
Da( to give) + asha ( the desire to gain
knowledge- hence Saraswati)
The one who is worshipped by the one who gives
knowledge (devotees, jnanis)
514. Sātvatāṁ-patiḥ:
Sattvan is one who knows the parabrahma or is
full of sattva guna. The lord is the master of the sattvatas and hence he is
sattvatam patih.
Jai Shri Krishna!
