c) SrI satyadevo vAsishTha uses the meaning of movement for raNa, and gives
the interpretation that He is called raNa-priyah because He delights in moving
around in the hearts of everyone and removing the darkness in them and
enlightening them, or He delights in moving around in the form of the Sun and
removing the darkness in the world.
The dharma cakram writer points out that life intrinsically is a struggle of one
thing vs. another. For one life to live, some other life or some aspect of
another life is destroyed. For us to be relieved from evil influences, we have to
fight to overcome the evil. bhagavAn has the big task of fighting against the
evils of the world, and this is what He signifies by carrying the pa'ncAyudha-s.
This nAma of bhagavAn should remind us that our life is a big struggle and a
fight to keep the bad from us, and to constantly assert the good in us.

satisfy.
SrI BhaTTar gives the interpretation that since He is avApta-samasta-kAman
(One Who has all His desires fulfilled, and has nothing else to wish for), He is
pUrNah. SrI BhaTTar notes that this is why it is easy to please Him with just
words of praise, with no expenditure of any kind involved, no physical strain,
and no need for elaborate worship.
