550 OM kR^ishhNaaya namaH . ##(see 57)##
One who incarnated in the Yaadava tribe as the son of Vasudeva and Devakee. It
is commented upon as 'one who served the Hindu Spiritual World in the form of
Krishna Dvaipaayana' which is the full name of Vyasa, the author of the
Puranas. However, Krishna also means 'The Dark'; the one great Infinite
Consciousness that plays in us constantly, because of which we are aware of
our experiences, and yet, never can we directly apprehend this Source of
All-life within ourselves. The Krishna is the "unknown factor" that expresses
through us--whose manifestations are all our physical, mental and intellectual
capabilities. He is, therefore, called as the 'Unknown', the 'Dark'--Krishna.

====================================================================
809 OM kundaaya namaH .
Here we read it as 'Kunda flower'. In this context the term means "One who is
as comely and attractive as the kunda flowers." In Harivamsa it is said that
the Lord, as Parasuraama, in order to atone for the battles he had fought,
gave (da) gifts of this earth (kum) to Rishi Kashyapa. 'Ku' also has the
meaning of the "rulers of the earth," and 'da' means "slaying." In this way
the term indicates the "one who had taken the Incarnation of Parasuraama to
destroy the unreasonably vicious tyrants of the land."

====================================================================
729 OM kasmai namaH .
"What." Since the Lord is the final Goal to be reached, He is the One Who is
to be enquired into or diligently sought through constant questioning upon
What is His Nature. Also because the Truth is realized through this process of
enquiry and discrimination--the final Goal of all "What" enquiring--the Lord,
is termed here as "What", (Kim).

====================================================================
400 OM a-nayaaya namaH .
If the ego is led by the Lord (as Naya) to the Highest, then when once the
Supreme State is reached, It has none to lead or guide It. The Lord guides
all, but there is none to guide Him. This is because He is All-pervading and,
therefore, He needs no guide to lead Him to Himself, as He is everywhere at
all times.

====================================================================
524 OM jitaamitraaya namaH .
One who has conquered all his enemies both within and without. Within, He has
conquered all enemies such as desires, hope, etc., and externally, has
conquered enemies such as desires, hope, etc., and externally, has conquered
enemies like Ravana, Hiranyakasipu and others.
