[ PLEASE ADD PRANAVAM BEFORE EACH NAAMA ]
The word javah is derived from the root ju'ng - gatau - to go. The amara
koSam commentator observes that the series of words related to javah all
indicate movement with speed - etAni sa-vega-gati nAmAni. SrI kRshNa datta
bhAradvAj gives the definition - manaso java iva javo yasya itimano-javah - He
Who has speed like that of the speed of the mind.
a) SrI BhaTTar comments that He is called mano-javah because He is faster
than thought itself in implementing all the acts described in previous nAma-s in
purifying a devotee. SrI BhaTTar gives supports from the gItA and the
vishNu dharma:

(gItA 9. 31)
"The devotee who is solely dedicated to Me quickly becomes righteous and
obtains everlasting peace. Affirm, on my behalf, arujuna, that My devotee
never perishes".

(vishNu dharma 83. 20)
