SUMMARY: Sri Hari exists in the characters and persons possessing the characters; therefore, he makes the person as a person of certain character/s. However, he is not bound by either the persons or their characters. Lord Hari will go on giving the positive and negative energy (the paapa and puNya) that accrue due to the variable character/s among Brahma and others by existing within them eternally; he also destroys the negative energy that the sins produce; he is the embodiment of knowledge and bliss; finally, he would swallow the entire universe, including the animate and inanimate, and remain, undestroyed.

GuNis means the persons possessing the characters or the person and persona. “AttA charAcharagrahaNAt” stated in the Brahmsutra conveys this philosophical principle.

Further, only the positive energies are distributed among deities such as Brahma and the negative energies are distributed among demons.

“Vrujina” refers to destroyer of negative energies and sins, which also indicates that Lord Hari remain outside the influence of sins.

SUMMARY: In his form as Aniruddha, Sri Hari manifests in education and therefore he is known as VidhA; he exists in the mind and wisdom of all beings in the form of Pradyumna and hence he is called Wisdom; he enables beings to achieve (Siddhi) by being in them in the form of Sankarshana and so, he is named Siddhi; Vasudeva, another form of Sri Hari, is in-charge of fame, popularity and therefore he is called Prasiddhi; Whoever is aware of these four blemish-less forms of Hari is known as scholar or Pandit.

In this context, education means knowledge of Scriptures, Shastra and unbiased philosophy. Wisdom relates to the knowledge or realisation of the ultimate reality that Lord Hari is the supreme God. Siddhi in this context does not relate to worldly achievements such as high education, science, power, status, affluence and so on. Siddhi is again the realisation of the ultimate truth. Popularity also relates to fame earned through thorough and true knowledge of Scriptures that establish the supremacy of Lord Hari.
