    SUMMARY: Sri Hari, who is addressed with the word “Vari”, which in Sanskrit means ‘water’, lives in water, transforms into six types of juices, wears thirty-six thousand types of female pulses and thirty-six thousand types of male pulses; by doing so, he stays within all the physical forms day and night in the name of Bruhatee and roams about.

    In numerology, the alphabets are assigned numbers and used in code language. The Sanskrit alphabets are divided into KAdinava, TAdinava, PAdipanchaha and YAdiaShTaha. The word VAri, which means water, signifies six because VA is the fourth letter in YAdiaShTaha and Ri is the second letter in the same group. Therefore 4+2=6, which symbolically means that there are six types of tastes or juices in water namely sweet, bitter, sour, salt, hot and pungent.

    In Bruhatee Chandas, there are thirty-six letters of which thirty-six are vowels and thirty-six consonants. The forms of vowels are considered as male forms and Aharniyamaka or deciders of daytime; the consonants are considered to be female forms and deciders of night or RAtriniyAmaka forms. A thousand syllogistic clusters in Bruhatee Chandas is known as Bruhateesahasra.

    In Aitareyopanishat and Bhashya, it has been clearly mentioned that as many as seventy-two forms of the Lord are thee in Bruhateesahasra.
