SrI cinmayAnanda gives yet another variation of the interpretation – He is
called “The Container”, because everything that happens only takes place
within Him.
The dharma cakram writer explains that what is meant here is the He is the
support for everything. All our friends and relatives can at best be supports
for us only as long as we live; after that they can’t support us. He is the One
who supports the jIva all the way until it attains mukti. But the jIva-s who are
steeped in aj~nAna only think of the support from their friends and relatives,
and do not realize that the real support comes from Him. We find many means
to keep our eyes and ears in good shape, but we don’t spend the time to keep
our minds in shape. This nAma tells us that He is the Only One who can support
us in achieving this.
e) SrI satyadevo vAsishTha derives the meaning from the root kubhi
AcchAdane – to envelop, to cover, and explains that bhagavAn envelops the
earth in the form of the sun etc., and so He is called kumbhah.
nAma 642. ivzuÏaTma viSuddhAtmA
He of a pure nature.
viSuddhAtmane namah.
SrI BhaTTar’s anubhavam is that because bhagavAn sacrifices all that He has
on His devotees, He is One of pure nature. AzhvAr’s equivalent nAma is amalan
Adi pirAn, vimalan, etc.
SrI Samkara gives the interpretation – viSuddha AtmA – The pure Atman – He
who is beyond the influence of the three guNa-s – sattva, rajas and tamas,
which keep influencing our actions and thoughts, and thus keep us attached to
this body and ultimately bind us in samsAra. Since He is beyond the influence
of prakRti whose attributes are these three guNa-s, He is not influenced by
these, and thus He is pure. He is beyond all passions and desire, and all
disturbances arising from these – triguNAtItah (SrI cinmayAnanda).
SrI kRshNa datta bharadvAj gives the interpretation – viSesheNa Suddhah
