VISHNU SAHASRANAMA 23 portion of Myself, I exist." The S'ruti (Mun. Up., 3-10) says : " The Purusha is all this, sacrifice, penance, Brahman, the highest, the immortal." Such words as ' Vishnu ' and the like, though repeated (in this hymn) are not tautalogous, since the meaning differs with the function. The words 'S'rlpati,' 'Madhava,* etc., though one and the same in meaning differ in expression. Although one and the same in meaning, yet it is no defect, since the questioner wanted to know the one Deity whose names were a thousand and because these denote a single Devata. The thousand Names consist of words in the masculine, feminine and neuter genders. Those in the masculine gender qualify Vishnu, those in the feminine qualify Devata and those in the neuter qualify Brahman. THE THOUSAND NAMES 1 The universe. (Vis'vam.) Beginning from the stanza " from whom all beings, etc. " (verse 11) up to the last Verse, Brahman, the cause of origin, preservation, and destruction of the Universe, has been spoken of as a Single Deity. The twofold Brahman (conditioned and unconditioned) is termed in the beginning as ' Universe ' (Vis'va). Brahman is spoken of as Visva being the cause of the entire manifested Universe. The word, Universe, as being the effect of a cause is used in the beginning to show that Vishnu could be praised by the names of Brahma, etc., who are also effects. Or this Universe is in reality not different from the Supreme Purusha. Hence, Brahman is spoken of as 'Vis'va'. The SVutis say: (Mun. Up., 3-10 and 4-1 1) : 1 Before repeating the names, Anganyasa, Karanyaaa, and Dhyana Slokas should be gone through ; and they do not belong to the Text, I have not translated them into English. They are added in the Text. '
24 VISHNU SAHASRANAMA "This Universe is indeed Brahman, this Universe is indeed Purusha"; "All this is . . ." There is in reality nothing different from Him. Or he, who enters (Vis', to enter), is called Vis'va, i.e., Brahman. The S'ruti (Tai. Up., 2-6) says : " Having created that, he entered into that." Moreover, that into which all beings enter (Vis'va) during involution is Brahman. The S'ruti (Tai. Up., 3-1) says : " That into which they enter at their death." Bo, He permeates all the Universe, which is His effect and all the Universe enters into Him, hence either way Brahman is ' Vis'va '. Or Vis'va means the monosyllable Om. The S'ruti " That which thou seest other
