Sahasranaamam doubts.

Dear Sirs

Recently while reading Vishnu Sahasranaamam, I think I paid more 
attention to the naamas or something, I dont know, but I ended up 
with a few doubts. 

I would like to know the interpretation of these Namas, which come 
one after other but are in exact contrast to one other. But when 
properly interpreted they also convey the same meaning. 

I am referring to :
1) Raamo-Viraamo
2) Bhaya Kruth - Bhaya Naashana (causing fear, destroying fear)
3) Guna brun - Nirguno Bhavaan (full of Gunas, devoid of Gunas)

Especially the 3rd one is way too interesting. One cannot stop 
wondering how Bhishma could compose such an interesting sequence 
lying on a bed of arrows!!

Can someone please explain the correct interpretation of these ?
