SVS 296 [Ojastejodhyutidhara: - 276] (30.1)

276. OM OJASTEJODHYUTIDHARAYA NAMA: ओजसतेजोध्युतिधराय नम:
Possesses might, strength and brilliance.

In this divine name Three qualities are mentioned. This is common in Sankara and Madwa commentaries also. Only He, Who possesses Six qualities - Gyanam, Shakti, Balam, Aiswaryam, Veeryam and Tejas - is called Bhagavan [भगवान]. Only the Lord possesses all these Six qualities and so He is the only Bhagavan. But we use this title for others also out of respect only! His brilliance causes shivers in enemies and enthuses devotees! Sri Rama destroyed 14,000 rakshasas, alone and His valour was appreciated by Sri Sita with an embrace!
