salagramadarshanam by rAmAnuja dAsargaL (original) (raw)

Apart from the shape, colour and the divine symbols of srimannarayana, scholars identify Sri Salagrama murthis based on various other aspects too... The names suggested here are learnt from scholars. We need not worry about what mUrthis are in our koilaazhvaar. All the murthis can be given the same name 'Sriman narayana'., 'krishna' , 'Govinda' , nrusimha' etc...

SrI SudarSana LakshmInrusimha (Chakra on one side and flat on the other side)	Sri-Keshava (Typical Chakra and opulant bulging on both sides)	Sri-Sudarshana (The Distinguished spiral chakra on both sides)	Sri-Varaha (Very shape resembles the tirumukhamandalam of Sri Varaha)
Sri-Vasudeva (tranquile; shines like moonlight)	SrI Govinda (The white hoof print of cow)	SrI jwala nrusimha (honey coloured)	Sri Aniruddha (typical chakra, different from the spiral sudarshana)
