Naama 147-152: Sri Maha Vishnu

147. jagadādijaḥ · जगदादिजः

The one born before the universe and ensures that the Trimurthy functions appropriately.

(oṃ) jagadādijāya namaḥ

Before the world could be created, the one who would create it had to exist. It is said in the Mahabharata, "You are our refuge, the first-born, the master of the world" (gatiśca nastvaṃ pūrvajō jagataḥ prabhuḥ).

148. anaghaḥ · अनघः

He who, despite being born into samsara and going about life, is unaffected by any sins.

(oṃ) anaghāya namaḥ

The name means "the one in whom there is no sin" (aghaḥ pāpaṃ na vidyatē asmin). The Yajur Veda describes Him as "pure, untouched by sin" (śuddham apāpaviddham). Though He lives among us in His incarnations, He is never tainted.

149. vijayaḥ · विजयः

He ensures that the endeavours taken up by Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva are successful.

(oṃ) vijayāya namaḥ

Sri Bhattar explains that the Lord is victorious because He controls everything that happens in the world, including the creation and destruction carried out by Brahma and Rudra with His help. He quotes the Moksha Dharma: "Following the path shown by Him, the two carry out creation and destruction" (tadādarśita panthānau sṛṣṭi saṃhāra kārakau).

150. jētā · जेता

He who is victorious over even Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva.

(oṃ) jētrē namaḥ

Nothing can ever happen against His will, and all the other gods act according to it. He is the one "whose desires come true and whose will comes true" (satyakāmaḥ satyasaṅkalpaḥ), and so He never meets defeat.

151. viśvayōniḥ · विश्वयोनिः

He who performs the acts of creation and destruction through Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, respectively.

(oṃ) viśvayōnayē namaḥ

This naama occurred earlier as the 118th naama. Here, Sri Bhattar explains that the Lord is the cause of the universe through Brahma and Rudra, who carry out creation and dissolution under His direction.

152. punarvasuḥ · पुनर्वसुः

The one who resides within His devotees as the antaryaami.

(oṃ) punarvasavē namaḥ

Sri Bhattar explains that the Lord dwells again and again as the inner self of the devas whom He creates for different functions, beginning with Brahma and Rudra. In the Moksha Dharma, Indra says to Rudra, "He is the inner self of you, of me, and of all others who are called embodied beings" (tavāntarātmā mama ca yē cānyē dēhisaṃjñitāḥ).
