829 OM sapta-vaahanaaya namaH .
The Lord in the form of sUrya or sun has seven horses as his vehicles or mounts.
Or one having a horse with seven names as his mount.
The shruti says- a horse with seven names carries Him.
903 OM svastaye namaH .
One whose auspicious form is characterized by supreme Bliss.
824 OM ashvatthaaya namaH .
That which does not last even for the next day (a-shvatthaM).
In the Katha Upanishad 2.3.1 and the giitaa 15.1, the Lord is indicated as the great ashvattha (pepal/Ficus Religiosa) tree, which is spoken of as indestructible, immortal as compared to the quickly perishing mankind that comes in waves, generation after generation, to play under its shade. This tree has been chosen to represent the finite play of the Infinite.
