SrI v.v.rAmAnujan refers us to tiruvAimozhi 10.1.8, where nammAzhvAr
describes the Jewel that is perumAL: "tayarathan peRRa marakata maNit
taDattinaiyE". Marakata maNi has the characteristic that it will remove the
fear from poisonous creatures, because they won't even approach anywhere
close to its location. Similarly, enemies won't even get close to where Lord
rAma is. The word taDam refers to a cool reservoir of water, which is liked
and desired by everyone.
b) SrI ananta kRshNa SAstri ues the meaning "sandal" to the term candana,
and gives the interpretation that He has this nAma because He is adorned with
pleasing sandal on His body.
c) SrI satyadevo vAsishTha uses the meaning "pleasing" to the term candana
as we indicated earlier, and the root a'ng - to go, and interprets the nAma
candanA'ngadI as referring to "He Who gives the means or ways for all of us
to be happy" - (AhlAdalarIm gatim yo dadAti).
d) SrI satyasandha yatirAja gives an interpretation where he links the nAma
to a'ngada, the son of vAli. He gives the meaning "pleasing" or "devout" to the
term candana, and interprets the nAma as referring to "One Who has a'ngada
as a pleasing devotee".
The dharma cakram writer sees the nAma as revealing to us the guNa of
bhagavAn whereby we derive mental peace by the very meditation on the Form
of bhagavAn.
nAma 747. vIrha vIra vIra-hA vIra hA
a) The Slayer of the strong demons.
b) The Destroyer of those who indulge in vain arguments and distract others
from meditating on Him.
c) The Destroyer of the bonds of yama.
