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

e) He Who is of the form the soma sacrifice (when the nAma is taken as savah)
f) He Who is the final Knowledge, and Who dwells everywhere (savah)
sAya namah.
The root from which the word sah is derived in the interpretation of this
nAma is so - antakarmaNi- to destroy, to bring to an end.
a) SrI BhaTTar gives the vyAkhyAnam - sva-vishaya j~nAnam syati iti sah- He
Who spreads knowledge about Him is sah. The explanation of this
interpretation starting from the root so -antakarmaNi, is given under item ii)
under "savah" below (syati = antayati= niScayati sva-vishaya j~nAnam). SrI
BhaTTar gives the example of Lord kRshNa spreading knowledge about Him
right from His childhood to everyone.
SrI v.v. rAmAnujan gives the support from embAr's interpretation for
periAzhvAr's "ap pUcci kATTuginRAn" pASurams - the reference here is that
even as a child, kRshNa reveals His tiru Azhi and tiruc ca`ngu to even the
children of AyarpADi and reveals His greatness to them. nammAzhvAr
declares that he has realized the whole truth about emperumAn because he
has been bestowed with "mayarvaRa madi nalam" by perumAL - avanE avanum
avanum avanum avanE maRRellAmum aRindanamE (tiruvAi. 9.3.2, and the
associated vyAkhyAnam by SrI V. N. VedAnta deSikan).
b) SrI satyadevo vAsishTha gives the interpretation that bhagavAn has this
nAma because He ultimately determines (brings to a conclusion, ends the
discussion on) how everything in this Universe functions etc. (see the
additional explanation under ii) for the nAma interpreted as "savah"below.
c) SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj gives the interpretation - syati vinASayatisvajana
vipada iti sah - He is called sah because He destroys the obstacles of His
devotees.
d) SrI aNNa'ngarAcArya svAmi seems to give his interpretation using the
direct meaning of the word sah - He. His actual words are: "appaDip paTTavar
enRu koNDADat takkavar" - He Who is worthy of being praised as such and
such", where I assume that the reference "appaDip paTTavar" refers to His
