Post 5

Dear Sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,
 
In this post, we will enjoy the sri vishNu sahasra naamaavali with naamaas
having the common thread of the root verb "kru" becoming karOthi in present
tense form and krutha: in verbal noun form.  

"kru" meaning "to do, to act, to prepare, to create, to hurt, to make sound
etc. 

Another root verb "kruth" means which in present tense becomes "krunthathi"
also has the verbal noun form as krutha: - kruth means "to cut". 

We will see naamaas having the common thread of "krutha:". 

In the fourth case becomes "kruthE" kruthaaya etc as listed below. Also
included are naamaas connected with  doing or doer- viz. KarmaNE.  

Before that two omissions in the previous posts. One in "dhrutha" post and
another in the "opposites" post.

1.	Om Dhrutha aathmanE nama:  - naamaa 162 occurring in slokam 17 
	meaning: the supporter of the souls.

2.	Om krutha-akruthaaya nama:  - naamaa 138 occurring in slokam 15 
meaning: The giver of fruits in this world and in the other world.
Krutham - that which is created manifested or done.
Akrutham- that which is not manifested.

Note: in the pairs of opposites, we saw the naamaas were occurring in
different places and to be combined. But this naamaa is so unique that
opoosites are occurring in the same naamaa.
