SVS14

9. OM BHOOTHA PAVANAYA NAMA:
Sustains, nourishes and providing happiness. Develops all.
In Pudhu Agraharam, Sri Rama and Sri Sita are seated in the same throne, as in the sloka vaidehi suradrumadale....Hanuman is seated at the feet of the Lord. He is holding Srimad Ramayanam in one hand and Veena [a musical instrument] in the other hand. This is unique. Lakshmana is holding the bow of Sri Rama as well as his own bow. With Bharatha and Shatrugna, the Lord graces in the Pattabhishekam -Coronation- pose.
His name protects all. Or, His name will get us everything. In kulam tharum pasuram, Thirumangai Alwar tells that the name Narayana will get everything - good lineage, wealth, wipe off sufferings, heavens, more than a mother cares for. His name will give Himself. Heavenly tree Karpagam, can give whatever one wants; but it can not give itself. Sri Narayana is also like a Karpagam tree, but can give Himself also, says Alwar -thannai thandhidum karpagam. In Srimad Ramayana, when Vali and Sugreeva fight, Sri Rama shoots an arrow at Vali and it pierces Vali's chest and he falls down. Vali did not see Sri Rama, but when he takes out the arrow, he finds the name Sri Rama inscribed on it. The moment he reads that and raises his head, he sees Sri Rama standing in front of him. This is how poet Kamba describes the scene in his Ramayanam epic - mummai sal ulagirku.. moola mandiram... By this we understand, that
mere chanting of His name will get Him to us. He not only sustains everything in this Universe, but develops also.
Thus in the first sloka of Sri Vishnu Sahasranama sthothram, we see Nine names -Viswam, Vishnu, Vashatkara, Bhootabavyabavatprabhu, Bhootakrut, Bhootabrut, Bhava, Bhootatma and Bhootapavana. All these show that there are none superior or equal to Him. He is Omnipresent in all at all times. These show His Leadership or Swamitvam. He is the Protector of all.
