everything that is desired.
SrI v. v. rAmAnujan emphasizes the abundance of all good things that He
possesses, such that He can bestow anything to the devotees that they want.
b) SrI Samkara gives the interpretation that He is kAmI because He is One
who has all His desires fulfilled (pUrNa kAma svabhAvatvAt). He isreferred
to as avApta-sarva-kAman.
nAma 660. kaNt> kAntah
a) He Who is charming.
b) He Who causes the end of brahma at the end of his period.
c) He Who is present everywhere, and Effulgent.
kAntAya namah.
We encountered this nAma earlier in Slokam 32 (nAma 297).
SrI BhaTTar gives the vyAkhyAnam - sa eva svayameva kamanIyah kAntah - By
Himself He is fascinating.
Under the earlier occurrence of this nAma, he indicates that this natural
charm of bhagavAn is because of His eternal saukumAryam, saundaryam, etc. -
svayam saundarya, saukumAryAdi rUpaguNaih.
SrI v. v.rAmAnujan refers us to nammAzhvar's tiruvAimozhi - paruguinnamudE
(7. 1. 7). Unlike the deva-s who made Him strain Himself by churning the
ocean for getting the amRtam for them, AzhvAr just wants to drink Him
directly, because He is the amudam Himself! SrI rAmAnujan also gives
reference to kulasekhara AzhvAr's perumAL tirumozhi 8. 2: "kaNDavartam
manam vazha'ngum kaNa purattu en karu maNiyE!" - Those who see Him in
tirukkaNNapuram, just lose their mind to Him and surrender to His beauty -
such is His charm.
b) SrI Samkara gives an alternate interpretation - kasya brahmaNah antah
asmAtiti kAntah - Since He is the cause of the end of brahma at the end of
the parArdha (100,00 billion years), He is called kAntah - kasya antah kAntah.
