457 OM sUkShmaaya namaH .
One who is subtle because He is without any gross causes like sound etc. The causes of the grossness of the succeeding elements from aakaasha downwards is sound and the other objects. The Lord is without these.
Mundaka Upanishad 1.1.6 says: 'sarvagatam susuukShmam' -- He who is very subtle and has entered into everything.


82 OM kRita-GYaaya namaH .
(kritaGYaaya)
One who knows everything about what has been done (kRita) by jiivaas. Also one who is pleased even with those who offer such simple offerings as leaves, flowers, fruits and water, as said in bhagavadgita (patraM pushpaM phalaM toyaM yo me bhaktyaa prayacchati).


895 OM adbhuutaaya namaH .
The wonderful being.
Katha Upanishad 1.2.7 says: Many do not happen even to hear about It.
Many, even when they hear, are not able to know It.
A wonder is the one who can speak about It.
And the man of high capacity is the one who can attain It.
The one who attains It after being instructed by a competent teacher is indeed a marvel.
The giitaa 2.29 also says: One sees It as a great wonder.
From all these it is clear that the Lord is very rare to attain.
Or the word may mean one whose form, powers, actions and achievements are of a wonderful nature.
