Post 23 

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

Before I give the next thread I have to seek your apologies. The item no. 10 in post 21 is a mistake. 

It should be "Om dharpadhaaya nama: -- naamaa no. 718 occurring in slokam 76 
meaning: the giver of pride 

and  NOT  "Om a dharpadhaaya nama:". 
So this naamaa need not find a place in the negative thread list. 

I am sorry for this mistake and wish to thank Sri Krsihnamacharya swamin for pointing out this in a private mail.

Continuing with the present post, in this post we will see naamaas of sree Vishnu sahasra naamam having the common thread of  "time and the time less" entity sreeman naaraayanan. 

This also reminds me to recall the lines of Swamy periyavaachchaan piLLai vyakhyaanam on thirup pallaaNdu - "kaala atheethamaana vasthu kaalam saamraajyam paNNugiRa dhEsaththil vanthu" etc included in the dhivya prabhandham post sent earlier.
