M.G.Vasudevan • September 27, 2002 


Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

In this second post on Sri vishNu sahasra naamam groupings, we will see the
list of naamaas containing the common thread of reference to a numerical
number. 

The numbers involved are 
	Zero - soonyam, 
	One - Ekam, 
	not one - na Ekam, 
	three - thri, 
	four - chathu, 
	seven - saptha, 
	thirty three - thri dhasa, 
	one hundred-  satha, 
	one thousand - sahasra  and
	infinite - asankhyEya. 

Each naamaa is a beauty and to be relished. For detailed meaning please see
Sri Krishnamacharya swamin's writings.
