272. OM NAIKAROOPAYA NAMA: ॐ नैकरूपाय नम:
He graces in Vishvaroopam, with many, many forms!
Till now we saw various Divine names explaining His name Narayana. From now on, Swami Parasara Bhatta explains the Divine names with respect to the Lord's Vishwaroopam. This is the next petal in the lotus of SVS. We are in Sri Oppiliyappan koil, where we are worshiping Sri Rama in the temple. Here for Ten days Sri Rama Navami is celebrated. Especially, Putrakameshti yaga is performed here. Devotees can worship and get the blessings of the Lord. Naikaroopa = na + eka roopa, that is not one image. The Lord Himself was born as Sri Rama and His brothers. When Devas were suffering because of Ravana, they prayed lord Brahma to help them; but having granted the boons, Brahma could not do anything and all of them prayed the Lord, Who appeared on Garuda. Devas prayed the Lord to take Avatar as a Human and kill Ravana. Here we have to remember, Devas could have prayed for killing Ravana only; because the Lord controlled lord Brahma, and the boons granted by Brahma were not binding on the Lord. Yet, to please Devas He took Sri Rama avatar! He appears as desired by the devotees and He is not restricting to any single image!
