36 VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
knowledge together with the mind, is called Yoga." He
(Vishnu) is the Yoga because he is to be reached by means
of it.
19. The leader of those that know Yoga. (Yogavidām
netā.)
Those that enquire into, realise, or acquire Yoga, are
called the knowers of Yoga; He is their leader because He
takes care of the concerns of the wise ones. Lord (Bh.
Gītā, 9-22) says : "To those that are always devout, I
secure gain and safety."
20. The Lord of Pradhāna and Purusha (Pradhāna-
purusheśvaraḥ).
Pradhāna is Prakriti, or Māyā, Purusha is Jīva, He is
the Lord of both.
21. He that has the form of a man-lion (Nāra-
simhavapuḥ).
Whose limbs are as those of man and lion.
22. United to Lakshmī (Śrīmān). (178-220 and 613)
Śrī (Lakshmī) eternally abides on his chest.
Vya. Though the Lord has the body of the man-lion,
there is no diminution of his beauty (Śrī).
23. Keśavaḥ. (648)
Whose hairs (Keśa) are beautiful (va), the termination
'va' being used in the sense of 'praise'; or Ka means
(Brahmā) A (Vishnu), and Īśa (Rudra), hence Keśa
denotes the Trimūrtis (the three manifestations) who are
under His control (vaśa); or because He slew the Asura
named Keśin. In the Vishnu Pr. (5-16-23) Nārada says to
Krishna : "Because thou hast slain the impious Keśin,
thou shalt be known, in the world, by the name of
Keśava." (Vide name 648.)
24. Best of men (Purushottamaḥ).
