Mumukshuppadi Sarartha Deepikai

Previous Choornai 95 Next

Sutra:
95. nArAyaNanenRathu - nArangkaLukku ayanamenRapadi.

Meaning:
Narayana is taken as ayana for the nAras.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
The meaning of the nArAyana term is now beginning to be explained.

There are two ways to derive the meaning out of the nArAyaNa nAma. Two kinds of combinations (samAsa) can be used to build this term: tatpurusha samAsa and bahuvreehi samAsa. "nArANAm ayanam - nArAyaNa:" is tatpurusha samAsa. "nArA: ayanam yasya sa:" is bahuvrIhi samAsa. Here it is the tatpurusha samAsa that is used to define the nArAyaNa term and as such it is said that nArAyaNa means the ayana for nAras.
