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

SrI Samkara comments that He has all objects of desire, and all Sakti-s or
energies, and so He is pUrNah - sakalaih kAmaih, sakalAbhih SaktibhiSca
sampannaiti pUrNah. Thus, He not only has all that is desired, but also has all
the powers to fulfill all that is desired. He is also pUrNah in the sense that He
is everywhere, and permeates and pervades everything (SrI rAdhAkRshNa
SAstri). Since everything is part of Him, and there is nothing that is not part
of Him, there is nothing for Him to desire.
SrI SAstri refers us to the well-known upanishadic passage
pUrNamadah pUrNamidam pUrNAt pUrNamudacyate;
pUrNasya pUrNamAdAya pUrNamevAvaSishyate
(SAnti pATha of ISAvAsya uapnishad, bRhadA. 5. 1. 1)
He is complete in all respects; whatever emanates from Him is complete; His
fullness is such that even though many things emanate from Him that are
complete, He remains complete in all respects. Other upanishadic references
he gives are: pUrNam apravarti (bRhaDA. 2.1.5),and tadetat pUrNam apravarti
(chAndoygya. 3. 12).
SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj adds additional anubhavam for this nAma - a) He
isfilled with infinite kalyANa guNa-s, and so He is pUrNah - pUryate ApyAyate
smakalyANa guNaih iti pUrNah; b) He is easily fulfilled and satisfied withthe
simple offerings from His devotees, such as flowers, fruits, etc. -
bhaktArpitaih phala kusumAdibhih tarpita iti pUrNah.
SrI baladeva vidyA bhUshaN builds on his vyAkhyAnam for the previous nAma,
and interprets the current nAma to mean that He is perfect in the sense of
finishing off His enemies once for all without trace.
Thus, among the different anubhavam-s for this nAma are:
1. He is full, with all desires fulfilled;
2. He is complete with all the kalyANa guNa-s;
3. He is easily satisfied and fulfilled with the simple offerings of His
devotees;
4. He is filled with all the Sakti-s that are needed to fulfill any possible
