480 OM kSharaaya namaH .
All beings subjected to change. Or the perishing.
One who is the very Immutable Self in all things, that appear to suffer from constant mutation. The changeless-core in the midst of all the changes.
All the changeable and variable things and beings of the Universe play in Him who is the only Substratum and, therefore, the Immutable Eternal Reality is called here as the Mutable: the changing and the dying waves are all ever nothing but the changeless ocean indeed.


45 OM dhaaturuttamaaya namaH .
The ultimate support of everything. Or He, being chaitanyA or Pure consciousness, is superior to all other dhAtus or substances. Or it can be interpreted as follows: He is dhAtu, because He bears everything, and He is also uttamA, the greatest of all beings.


440 OM nakShatra-nemaye namaH .
The nave of the stars.
One who is the nave around which all the stars and the planets including the sun, moon and other planets always move around. For this brilliant glowing wheel of light, Sri naaraayaNa is the very axle.
