FAQs
Nārāyaṇa is a principal name of Viṣṇu, presented here as anāmayam—free from defect or affliction—highlighting his transcendent perfection.
The key verb samārādhya (“having duly worshipped/propitiated”) frames spiritual progress as arising from devoted, proper worship directed to Nārāyaṇa.
Anāmayam conveys “unblemished, unaffected by suffering or limitation,” underscoring that the object of worship is supremely pure and reliable as a refuge.
