guNaihjagat ApyAyanam - He makes the world prosperous by means of His
benevolent qualities.
b) An alternate interpretation given by SrI bhaTTar is based on the meaning
"ghee or butter" for the word ghRtam. Since He has great desire (ASAsti) for
the butter (ghRtam) in the gopis' homes, He is called ghRta-ASIh - gopa gRha
gavye ASAstih asya iti ghRtASIh (ghRte ASIh kAmo yasya sa ghRtASIh).
c) SrI Sa'nkara's interpretation is: ghRtAh vigalitAh Asishah prArthanAh asya
iti ghRtASIh - He of non-existent requests is ghRtASIh.
SrI rAdhAkRshNa SAstri paints a picture of this guNa by pointing out that
"the qualities of desiring something, seeking someone's grace to get it,
receiving it from someone, etc., which are common sequences for many of us in
day-to-day life, have melted away like ghee, and dripped off or oozed out from
Him, and so He is devoid of all these qualities of need, want, etc".
d) SrI satyadevo vAsishTha gives the interpretations that He is ghRtASIh
because He desires or enjoys the offerings of ghRtam or ghee in the fire
offerings; or, He is ghRtASIh because He likes the offering in the form of
alighted dIpam.
nAma 751. Acl> a-calah calah

b) He Who is immutable in His nature, power, wisdom, etc.
c) He Who does not move anywhere, because He is everywhere already.
a-calAya namah.
The root from which the nAma is derived is cal - kampane - to stir, to shake.
That which does not move, or He Who is firm in His conviction and action, are
called a-calah.
a) SrI bhaTTar gives the interpretation: duryodhanAdhibhih durAtmabhih abhedyaha-calah
- He is called a-calah because He is not stirred by the evilminded
duryodhana and others.
