Vishnu Sahasra Naamam-Vol III-RR-edit.pub - Ibiblio

vasah - SrI - all glory and riches, ever dwell in His bosom of love and beauty.
The dharma cakram writer refers to different kinds of wealth, which all can
be grouped under the six categories - SrI, kIrti, aiSvarya, j~nAna, vIrya, and
vairAgya. The term "bhagavAn" refers to One who has all these six kinds of
wealth. In the case of others, if theys how the slightest sign of having any
one of these in some measure, we talk of his having been blessed with "lakshmI
kaTAksham". The more one devotes one's life in the thought and service of
bhagavAn, the more these qualities start demonstrating themselves in the
individual. This should be the purpose of life correctly lived - Meditation on
Him and association with Him will lead to our acquiring these traits, just as:
"poovODu Sernda nArum maNam peRum".
SrI vAsah thus refers to Him who has SrI in the form of lakshmi with Him
always on His vaksha sthalam, as well as One who has all the SrI's (kIrti-s) in
full measure with Him always, undiminished, undiluted, and uninterrupted.
