SrI cinmayAnanda observes that it is because of disturbances at the bodymind-intellect
level that one experiences sorrow. Since bhagavAn isbeyond
these agitations, He is ever Blissful, desireless, ever contented, and thus never
experiences sorrow.
SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj quotes from chAndogyopanishad in support of
the vyAkhyAnam for this nAma - ya AtmApahatapApmA vijaro vimRtyur-viSoko
avijighatsoapipAsah satyakAmah satya samkalpah sonveshTavyah sa
vijij~nAsitavya. (chA. 8. 7. 1), wherein one of the many attributes of Brahman
is given as viSokah.

a) SrI BhaTTar gives the interpretation that He removes the sorrow of the
devotee who suffers from separation from Him, by helping the devotee cross
the ocean of samsAra.
SrI v. v. rAmAnujan observes that while all wealthin this world causes sorrow,
He is the only Wealth who removes the sorrow. How does He do that?SrI
rAmAnujan refers us to tirumazhiSai AzhvAr's tiruccandaviruttam 115: attan
Agi annai Agi, Alum empirAnumAi, ottu ovvAdapal piRappu ozhittu nammai ATkoLvAn

Father, Mother, and Lord, gets into the devotee's heart, and redeems the
devotee from the ocean of samsAra, and thus removes the devotee's sorrow
once for all.
b) SrI Samkara gives the interpretation that by the very remembrance of
Him, the sorrow of the devotee is removed - smRti mAtreNa bhaktAnAm
Sokam nASayati itiSoka-nASanah.

the Self has no sorrow:
