s and smRti-s. He quotes bhagavAn's own words - Sruti smRtI mamaiva A~jne -
The Sruti and smRti are My commands. Later on in SrI vishNu sahasra nAmam,
Sage vyAsa declares - vedAh SastrANi vi~jnAnam etat sarvam janArdanAt -
The veda-s, SAstra-s, wisdom, and all these, came from janArdana (Lord
vishNu).
SrI aNNa'ngarAcArya gives the following crisp interpretation from
prabandham, which contains an ocean of thoughts - "kalaigaLum vedamum nIdi
nUlum kaRpagamum SoL poruL tAnum maRRai nilaigaLum vAnavarkkum
piRarkkum nIrmaiyinAl aruL Seidavar" (peria tirumozhi 2. 8. 5) - He Who gave
the veda-s, vedAnta sUtra-s, itihAsa-s, kalpa sUtra-s, vyAkaraNa, mImAmsA,
etc., to the deva-s and to the mansuhya-s, by His sheer kindness towards
them.
d) SrI cinmayAnanda gives yet another angle - consistent with the
interpretation that He is the Destroyer of brahmA at the time of pralaya for
the previous nAma, the current nAma can be interpreted as One who then
inaugurates the kRta yuga (kRta Agamah). Thus, He is the One into whom the
whole world dissolves at the time of pralaya, and from whom the world reemerges
at the beginning of the next yuga.
e) SrI baladeva vidyAbhUshan continues his thoughts from the previous
Slokam dealing with keSi vadham, and gives the interpretation to the current
nAma that He is kRtAgamah because He finished off kESi and then
victoriously entered the assemblage of His kith and kin (probably the root he
draws on is kR himsAyAm - to kill, and gam gatau - to go). Here kRta refers to
the act of destruction of keSi, and Agamah refers to His gamana or arrival in
the midst of His kith and kin.
f) SrI satyadevo vAsishTha uses the roots kR karaNe - to do, and gam gatau -
to go, to derive his meaning, and gives the following interpretation - kRta
Agamo yena sa kRtAgamah - BhagavAn does the act of appearing to His
devotees in whatever form they desire, in response to the stuti of the stotrAs
of the devotees. He bases his interpretation on the Rg-vedic mantra 8. 3.
