VISHNU SAHASRANAMA 137
830. The formless (Amūrtih).
Mūrti or form, consisting of the movable and immov-
able things, is capable of being borne, i.e., the Universe. The
Śruti (Ai. Up., 3-2) says : "From that agitation the form
came to exist." As he is formless he is called Amūrti ; or
he who is devoid of the bodily organs and limbs that are
keen to perceptions and feelings.
831. The sinless (Anaghah).
And painless.
832. The inconceivable (Achintyah).
By any proof, being the witness of the knower, etc. ;
or He that cannot be thought of in any particular form as
separate from this expanded Universe.
833. He that causes fear (Bhayakrit).
To those that follow the path of wickedness ; or dis-
peller of the fear of his devotees.
834. The destroyer of fear (Bhayanāsanah).
Of those who adhere to the rules of caste and states of
life (Āsrama). Parāśara (Vis. Pr., 3-8-9) says : " The su-
preme Person Vishnu is worshipped by men who adhere to
the rules of caste and Āsrama. There is no other path to
please Him." (Slo. 102)
835. The subtle (Anuh).
As he is the minutest of all. The Śruti (Mun. Up.,
5-9) says : "This subtle Ātman is to be known by mind."
Vya. He is able to permeate through the Jīvas.
836. The great (Brihat).
He being the greatest and the biggest. The Śruti
(Mahā. Up., 12) says : "He is greater than the greatest."
Vya. His vastness makes the ether and the other
elements like unto a small vessel.
837. The thin (Krisah).
As he is devoid of ingredients of matter, as the Śruti
(Br. Up., 5-8-8) says ; "He is not of a gross body."
