99. The beginning <strong>of</strong> everything (Sarvadih).<br />
Because he is <strong>the</strong> origin <strong>of</strong> all beings.<br />
Vya. He is <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>of</strong> all human aspirations.<br />
100. Achyutah. (100, 319 and 552)<br />
He was not shaken and is not and will not be<br />
shaken from his own glory ; hence <strong>the</strong> name Achyuta.<br />
The S'ruti (Nara. Up., 13) says : " '<br />
He is eternal, calm and<br />
unswerving (Achyuta)." Lord also (Maha. S'an., 343) says :<br />
" I did not swerve from my path at any time before ; hence<br />
I am called Achyuta by that act."<br />
Thus ends <strong>the</strong> first hundred.<br />
SECOND HUNDRED<br />
101. Dharma and boar (Vrishakapih).<br />
Dharma is known as (vrisha) by its act <strong>of</strong> pouring out<br />
all desired objects ; <strong>the</strong> ' boar ' (kapi) : as he protected (pa<br />
to protect) <strong>the</strong> Earth from <strong>the</strong> (great) waters (ka, water).<br />
The Mahabharata (S'an. 343) says : " Kapi means <strong>the</strong> great<br />
boar and vrisha means Dharma. Hence, <strong>the</strong> Progenitor<br />
Kasyapa calls me by <strong>the</strong> appellation Vrishakapi."<br />
Ka. The destroyer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> misery <strong>of</strong> Indra. {Vrislia)—<br />
Indra ;<br />
4&w=sins and Pi=absorb and remove.<br />
102. Of undefinable nature (Ameyatma).<br />
103. Devoid <strong>of</strong> all contacts (Sarvayogavinisritah).<br />
The S'ruti (Br. Up., 6-3-15) says: "This Person,<br />
indeed, is unattached." Or he is beyond <strong>the</strong> reach <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
various systems <strong>of</strong> Yogas taught in <strong>the</strong> Sfastras. (24)<br />
104. The dweller (Vasuh). (270 and 696)<br />
Or ' Vasu ' means one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> (eight) Vasus as described<br />
(in Bh. G. 10-23) "lam Pavaka among <strong>the</strong> Vasus."<br />
Vya. He dwells in <strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sages (Sadhus),<br />
<strong>the</strong> righteous (Nyayins) and <strong>the</strong> purified ones (S'antas).
