SVS 63

57. OM SASWATHAYA NAMA: ॐ शास्वताया नम:
Restless as the Creator, Protector and Destroyer of the Universe at all times.

Adisesha was born as Lakshmana in Thretha yug and as Sri Balarama in Dwaparayug. In Kali yug, Adisesha took the incarnation of Swami Ramanuja. Once, thousands of pundits of various other religions and sampradhayams, met Swami Ramanuja together and waged a debate. Swami Ramanuja sat behind a screen and answered all the questions the pundits asked at the same time. This was possible, because he was none other than the thousand hooded Adisesha. This incident happened in Thondanur, near Thirunarayanapuram. Here, the Lord graces as Sri Narayana and as Sri Parthasarathy.
Saswata means permanent. All the three activities of Creation, Protection and Destruction are done By Him. But these are all a game for Him. Swami Ramanuja states this in the beginning Mangala sthothram of his Sri Bhashyam. Srushti, sthithi and samharam are a play for Him. Not bound by any reason nor requiring any assistance, He creates or destroys at His will or sankalpam. In this He is steadfast and never changes once He decides. He protects His devotees. When Vibheeshana arrived at Sri Rama and surrendered, along with him four others also came. But it was only Vibheeshana who surrendered. But Sri Rama granted asylum not only to Vibheeshana but also for all his associates as well. Even if the associates were in crowds, He would protect them all. This we can not see elsewhere. When in the debate as to whether to accept Vibheeshana or not, all gave various reasons for not accepting him. But Sri Rama, following proper protocol, took the permission of King Sugreeva and declared that He would accept Vibheeshana and no force on earth was capable of waging a fight with Him. Then He requested Sugreeva himself to welcome Vibheeshana. He is steadfast in protecting anyone surrendering unto Him. This greatness is praised in Veda and Vedanta. Thus says Swami Ramanuja.
