SuprasAda: prasannAtmA

SuprasAda: prasannAtmA viswadhruk viswabhuk vibhu: | 
satkartA satkruta: sAdhu: jahnu: nArAyaNO nara: || 


SuprasAda: -- His style of doing is always very graceful, aesthetic and dexterous. 

PrasannAtmA -- HIs nature is always beautiful calmness and pleasing spontaneity. 

Viswadhruk -- He surpasses and subdues everything. According to Sri Parasara Bhattar it is Viswasrut meaning He creates everything purely out of kindness. 

Viswabhuk vibhu: -- He pervades and protects everything and is the inner soul of everything. 

SatkartA -- He is always first and forthcoming in helping sadhus. 

Satkruta: -- Since He rejoices even in a small act of devotees and considers them in great honour, He is worshipped more and more by the pious. 

SAdhu: -- Even though He is exceedingly great and supremely excelling, He becomes the very simplicity itself when He lends Himself to assist His devotees and do what they say. This quality in Him is beyond human understanding. 

Jahnu: -- Even though His greatness is visible to His devotees but to the non-devotees He hides His greatness, 

NArAyaNa: -- This is a very special and important Name for Sri Adisankara and Sri Parasara Bhattar. They have quoted extensively from the Vedas, Puranas and Mahabharata to illustrate the greatness and importance of this special name. Whatever eternal principles in the universe all of them are comprehended under the name 'Nara'. And Narayana is the Ayanam, the resting place of all the eternal principles. And also He has all these eternal principles as His own resting place. This Name signifies at the same time both His transcendence and immanence. 

Nara: -- He is the principles of universe which are eternal.
