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

SrI Samkara also gives the interpretation that this nAma signifies that He has
kIrti which brings purity to people- puNyam Avahati asya kIrtih nRNAm
itipuNya-kIrtih.
SrI rAdhAkRshNa SAstri seems to draw a connection between the previous
nAma and the current nAma. SrI Samkara interprets the previous nAma as
referring to His being a puNyah or Purifier in the sense that mere thoughts
about Him by the devotee lead to the purification of the devotee -
smRtimAtreNa kalmashANi kshapayati iti puNyah. In order to have this smRti
of Him, one should first realize His greatness. The current nAma provides this
basis, namely His fame, which induces thoughts about Him in the devotee,
which then leads to the smRti of bhagavAn. Thus, His kIrti has the effect of
being a purifier (this nAma), just as His smRti is (the previous nAma).
SrI cinmayAnanda explains that whoever glorifies Him becomes holy, and so in
this sense His glory is purifying.
nAma 694. Anamy> an an-Amayah
an Amayah
a) He Who removes the disease of samsAra.
b) He Who is beyond pain or suffering - internal, external, karma-related, etc.
an-AmayAya namah.
The root from which this nAma is derived is mI - himsAyAm, to die, to perish.
The term Amayah refers to disease or sickness. He Who is beyond disease or
sickness is an-Amayah.
a) SrI BhaTTar gives the interpretation that He is called an-Amayah because
He is the adversary for the worst Amayah, namely the disease of samsAra, in
His devotees - samsAra mahA-vyAdhi virodhI. samsAra is considered a disease
because it is an obstacle to the power of enjoyment of the glory of bhagavAn.
SrI BhaTTar quotes from chAndogyopanishad and indicates that those who
have realized the true nature of samsAra declare that "they are full of
disease" - "vyAdhibhih paripUrNo'smi" (chAn. 4. 10. 3). nammAzhvAr refers
to Him as "vani tIr marundu" (tiruvAi. 7. 1. 4) -reference from SrI v. v.
