Protector of all accumulated living beings and non-living matter.
Swami Parasara Bhatta has grouped the Divine names in SVS into 44 categories and calls each category as a petal of a lotus flower. We have to imagine a lotus flower with 44 petals. From the Divine name Narayana starts another group or another petal in this lotus flower. Nara: normally means man; but here it denotes the Lord. We are in Badri nath, where the Lord is called Sri Badri Narayana. Badari is a berry [ilandai pazham இலந்தைப் பழம்]. Badarayana aka as Vysa and Uddhava have meditated here.
Here the Lord appears as Sri Narayana [the Guru] and Sri Nara [ the disciple].
