Nanaroopam ajam nithyam  –

Nanaroopam-

Ekaroopa – Swaroopa is not different in each being.

Eg: He is present inside a shastragna vipra as a brahmana, inside a cow in gauroopa, inside elephant as hastini roopa, inside dog as shuni roopa, inside a person who eats dog meat as Shavapaka roopa. Bimba roopa is reflected as prathibimba and it gives different nature to different beings. Hence he is Nanaroopa.

Narayana panditacharya says “Paramatamane sathatham ekaroopine dasharoopine shatha sashraroopine avikarine suptam anantharoopine samasthanave namah” ||

He is ekaroopa, but dorns 10, 100, 1000 roopas , yet is flawless, and all his roopas are sath,chith,ananda roopa.

ajam nithyam  – He is devoid of all flaws because he is not bound by cycle of birth and death.
