Iti Shree Veerabrahmendra Svaami Ashtottara Shatanaamaavali
Meaning
A namavali for Brahmamgaru
Sri Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swamy was a 17th-century yogi and the author of the Kalagnanam. His jeeva samadhi is at Brahmamgari Matham in Kandimallayapalle, Kadapa district. The text does not name the author of this namavali, which praises him as a realised master and also as the formless Self.
The Vi names
All of the first 56 names begin with Vee or Vi. After Veerabrahmendra Swamine and Veeranarayanaya comes Veerabhoga Vasanta Avataraya, recalling his Kalagnanam statement that he will come again as Veerabhoga Vasanta Raya at the end of Kali Yuga. Vitaraga, Veerasana, Vijitendriya and Vikalpa Virahita speak of his detachment and yogic poise. Vishvarupa, Vishvasakshi, Vishveshvara and Viratpati present him as the awareness filling the universe, and Vidyasara, Vidyanidhi and Vidyapati honour his learning.
The Sarva names
Name 57 is Samashatrumitra, the one equal to friend and foe, and name 58 is Sadguru. All of the remaining 50 begin with Sarva: Sarvasakshi, Sarvantaratma, Sarvarishta Vinasha, Sarvopanishat Sara. This last part says he is the Self present in everything, and the list closes with Sarvaguru, teacher of all. Devotees read it on Thursdays, on his aradhana days and before reading the Kalagnanam. A few names, such as Vinidra and Sarvatita, appear twice in this version.
