SVS 67

61. OM PRABHUTHAYA NAMA: प्रभूता नम:
With no decrement, completely full.

We are in Thirukkandiyur in temple where the Lord is Sri Harasapaharan. This place is near Thiruvaiyaru. Prabhutha means with no reduction or with no defects. All commentators of SVS, in Advaita, Visishtadvaita and Dwaita philosophies are all in agreement that the Lord's qualities are full and complete and there are no defects nor reduction. It is called paripoornam. His activities are complete; His qualities are full with no defects; His avatars are total; His protection of the devotees is also complete. In the last Divine Name prathardhana, it was indicated that He is the Destroyer of all. Then, how He is without defects? This doubt may arise. Normally, if one has wealth and spends it, how can he be wealthy? The Lord is the possessor of the two wealth Nithya vibhoothi [Vaikuntam] and Leela vibhoothi [our Universe]. During pralayam or the great deluge, Nitya vibhoothi is not destroyed. It is permanent wealth and that is the reason we should aspire for.
Prabhutha also means He gives threads for cloth. Draupati's chastity was saved by the Lord by generating infinite threads which formed cloth and protected her.
