751 OM trilokadhR^ishhe (trilokadhR^ike ??) namaH .
"One Who is the support of all the three worlds." Apart from the usual concept
of the three worlds: heaven, earth and hell, there is a deeper import of the
term 'loka'. It should mean the three fields of experience constituted of
waking, dream and deep sleep. Atman, the Self, as Consciousness, is the One
that supports all these three stated inasmuch as, without this kindling
support of life in the bosom, it would be impossible for us to have any
experience.

====================================================================
573 OM vaachaspataye ayonijaaya namaH .
One who is a master of all knowledge (Vidyaas) and who is unborn through a
mother's womb.

====================================================================
862 OM aparaajitaaya namaH . ##(see 716)##
"The Invincible; One Who cannot be defended." The Self ultimately asserts
within every bosom from wherein the spiritual values finally emerge
victorious. The Self alone remains when all else has been destroyed.

====================================================================
833 OM bhayakR^ite namaH .
Lord is the "Giver of fear". He is a terror to the evil-minded. In all His
Incarnations, He gives fear to the evil-hearted, that they may ultimately be
swayed to the path of Dharma. *

* And thus gave abhayam to virtuous. As He destroys the fear of the devotees.
* He is also called bHayakR^it=bHayakR^intati iti.

====================================================================
529 OM satyadharmaNe namaH .
One who has in Himself all the true Dharmas. Kindness, non-injury, charity
etc. are considered as the noble Dharmas. Sri Narayana is One in whom we find
all these Dharmas to the maximum. In short, He is the embodiment of Yoga
(Yogesvara). It also means that One who is rich in the experience of the
Supreme Self; for, the Upanishad says: "This alone is the Supreme Dharma which
is to experience the Self through yoga."*

* "Ayam hi paramo dharmah yadhyogenAtma darshanam"
