*Explanation of of names
in Manthra from Nrusimha
Thapaneeya Upanishad translated
by me https://www.hinduwebsite.com/vedicsection/upanishads/nrisimhapurva.asp
1 He is called “Ugra [fierce]” because by his power He
creates, looks after, destroys and elevates without break and also attracts all
devas, all beings, all bhoothas Hey Lord Narasimha, you who is being praised by
me, please give me perennial happiness even when I am in this body which is not
permanent. Let your soldiers kill all my enemies who are different from me.
2 He is called “Veera [heroic]” because by his power He
makes all worlds, all devas, all beings and all boothas play, and allow them to
take rest and also creates, helps them grow and attracts without any break
these worlds, devas, beings and boothas. He is behind every action, very capable,
mountain like and one who fulfills the desires of devas.
3 He is “Maha Vishnu”, because he pervades in all the
worlds and makes all the world pervade, similar to the fatty gum that spreads
in all meat, from this side to that and also from other side to this side.
There is nothing in the world that is not him. He is pervading in all things in
the world. He is the leader of all souls. Worship of souls is His worship. He
exists in all the three shining things viz. Moon, Sun and fire.
4 He is called “Jwalantham [burning]”, because he makes
the entire world which includes all devas, all beings and all Bhoothas shine
because of his luster and also shines in them and makes them release flames. He
is the one who created the world and makes it rapidly multiply. He is the one
who shines because of his own luster and also makes others shine. He spreads
heat throughout the world and makes the world swelter. He spreads his rays
everywhere and makes them release rays. He has a personality which causes only
good. He gives only that which is good and he is good.
5 He is called “Sarvatho Mukham [having faces
everywhere]” because he sees everywhere without having any organs, he is able
to hear every thing, he is able to go every where, he is able to attract
everything, and also because he is spread everywhere and exists every where. In
the beginning he was alone and he has become all these things now. Those who
rule over the world came from him. In the end everything goes back and merges
in him. I salute him who has faces every where.
6 Among all animals the most fear some and also most
special is the lion. That is why God of the Universe took birth as Narasimha.
That deathless form became one which does good to the entire world. That is why
he is called “Narasimham [half man and half lion]”. That Maha Vishnu who has
this fearsome form does not cause fear among his devotees. He is being
worshipped and praised by them. He is the one who travels all over earth and
also one who lives on the mountain top. In his form of Trivikrama, he measured
all the worlds in three steps.
7 He is called "Bheeshanam [fear full]” because all
the crowds of devas, men and Bhoothas and all the worlds run away fearing Him;
but he is not afraid of anything. The wind blows because it is afraid of Him.
The Sun rises above because he is afraid of Him. It is because of fear for Him,
that the God of fire, Indra and the God of death do their work.
8 He is called “Bhadram [safe]’ because he is good things
personified, because he forever shines giving good things, because he makes
others shine, because he is superior and because he does very good things. Hey
Devas, we have to hear with our ears about this “Bhadram”. Hey, those of you
who are fit to be worshipped, we have to see with our eyes that “Bhadram”. Let
us live as much as the Gods live with healthy organs and healthy bodies
praising and singing Him.
9 He is called “Mruthyu-Mruthyum [death and
deathlessness]” because just by mere thought of His devotees, he destroys death
and untimely death to them. He is one who gives the knowledge of the soul and
also one who gives strength. All devas bow before Him and praise Him. Let us
satisfy Him by offering Him “Havis-food” through the fire sacrifice because
even his shadow is nectar and he is the death which destroys death.
10 He is worshipped by the chanting of “Namami [I salute
him]”, because he is being worshipped by all devas, all those who have forsaken
his world and all those who swear by Brahmam and also because the lord of the
Vedas worship him telling these words. Indra, Mithra (Sun), Aryama and all
other devas exist in him.
11 I was born before this world which is pretty and
orderly. I existed even before the devas. I am the central power of that which
never dies. He who gives me (in my form as food for people) in charity, becomes
the one who protects the soul. If given without understanding this, I who am
food, eat the one who eats. I am the one who becomes all the world and destroys
it. My light is like that of a sun, who standing alone gives light to all the
world. This Upanishad says that one who understands this attains salvation.
