93. OM VYALAYA NAMA: ॐ व्यालाय नम:
Accepts devotees with love.
Vyala means He attracts everyone to Him. In Koodaraivellum [கூடாரை வெல்லும்] pasuram of Thiruppavai, it is implied that the Lord wins His enemies by His prowess. But He attracts His devotees by His various qualities like sowseelyam, soulabhyam, etc. In Srimad Ramayana, saranagathi can be found at every instance and so it is called saranagathi shastram. Of the various saranagathi, Vibheeshana saranagathi in yuddha kandam is considered to be most important. Swami Vedantha Desika has written a detailed commentary on this called abhaya pradhana saram. On the seashore, Sri Rama inquired as to whether to accept Vibheeshana or not and asked for the opinion of all. Sugreeva did not want to accept Vibheshana as he was the brother of Ravana. But the Lord said that the moment Vibheeshana thought of surrender, He had accepted him in His fold. He accepts anyone, even if he is the most contemptuous and hated, if he surrendered in devotion.
