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

d) All the creatures (referred to by the term bhU here), rest in Him (Sayah)
at the time of parlaya.
nAma 635. ÉU;[> bhUshaNah
He Who becomes adorned, or He Who adorns.
a) He who wears the ornament of saulabhyam as His bhUshaNam
b) He who is decorated with all kinds of different and wonderful ornaments as
described by emperumAnAr in SrI SaraNAgati gadyam
c) He who adorns this world with His different incarnations at His wish
d) He Who adorns every creature by His being their antaryAmi
e) He who beautifies this world by His variety of creations
bhUshaNAya namah.
The literal meaning of the term bhUshaNam is "decoration, adornment,
ornament". bhUshaNah is thus One who is decorated or adorned, or one who
decorates or adorns. The different vyAkhyAna kartA-s give different
anubhavams of what he is decorated with, or what He decorates with.
a) SrI BhaTTar looks at His saulabhyam as His most important bhUshaNam -
His easy accessibility to His devotee. The act of climbing down from His
paratvam to the level of His devotees and mixing with them, is only
bhUshaNam for Him and not a dUshaNam.
b) SrI v. v. rAmAnujan gives the additional explanation in terms of His divya
bhUshNa-s as described by emperumAnAr in SrI SaraNAgati gadyam: kirITa
makuTa cUDAvatamsa makara kuNDala graiveyaka hAra keyUra
kaTakaSrIvatsa kaustubha muktAdAama udara bandhana pItAmbara
kA'ncIguNa nUpurAdiaparimita divya bhUshNa - He is decorated with all sorts
and kinds of ornaments, most wonderful to behold, ever-lasting, faultless,
sweet-smelling, soft to touch, wonderful with splendor, such as the crown
bearing the central diadem of lustrous stone, other head ornaments, ear
ornaments, necklaces and neck ornaments, garlands, shoulder-bracelets,
