The Krishna Yajur Veda praises the Supreme One as Jishnu — the One who is always triumphant and cannot be vanquished. He demonstrated His invincibility in every avatara. He is yutkaara, says the Veda, meaning He is a great warrior. In the Rama avatara, He helped the sages in the forest by getting rid of the demons who disturbed them. He kicked aside Dundubhi’s skeleton with His toe. With a single arrow, He pierced seven trees. Ravana and his army of demons were no match for Him. No wonder Vedanta Desika, in his Raghuveera Gadyam, eulogises Rama as Mahaveera — the unmatched warrior.
The Supreme One is duschyavana. That means there is no escape from Him. And what a positive trait this is where those who surrender to Him are concerned! Even if they were to err after they surrender at His feet, He still holds on to them tightly and does not let go, said V.S. Karunakarachariar in a discourse. In other words, moksha for them is assured. So it is clear that Lord Narayana is duschyavana.
He is Trishnu — the fearless One. Why should He fear anyone when He controls everything? Even if all the worlds were to oppose Him, He will not forsake one who has surrendered to Him. He pours down His blessings on His devotees like a moisture laden cloud.
But what of a person who resorts to Saranagati (complete surrender to Him), but still continues to wage war against his senses, not being able to control temptations? Such a person does not have to worry. His senses may lead him astray, but he will have the last laugh, because no matter what the senses do, they cannot stop him from attaining moksha, which the Lord has guaranteed to the person who surrenders. He can, therefore, boldly mock the senses, because the senses will be the losers in this battle.
