Vishnu Sahasranaman - Day1 - Slokha 1


Today, I had the following  crazy thought. Let me learn one line per day of Vishnu Sahasranaman  and it's meaning i.e., root words.


I found a good source to assist me for a start.

 http://aumamen.com/mantra/shuklambaradharam-vishnum-lyrics-meaning

This led to trying to document and pick up vocabulary for the words. Let's get started

This is what the site provides:

ShuklaAmbara Dharam Vishnum Shashi Varnam Chatur Bhujam
Prasanna Vadanam Dhyaayet Sarva Vighnopashaantaye (Vighna Upashaantaye)

1st try to correct my ignorance and identify root words

Shukla - Moon Ambar - sky Dharam -? Vishnu -? Shashi? Varnam-? Chatur-Four Bhujam-Hands
Prasanna - Happy Vadanam -? Dhyaye-? Sarva - All Vighnopa- ? shantayey - Peace

Missing words 

Shukla - Moon 
ambar - sky Dhara -Wearing Vishnu -? Shashi? Varnam-? Chatur-Four Bhujam-Arms(not hands)
Prasanna - Happy,Satisfied Vadanam -Face Dhyaye-Medidate Sarva - All Vighna- Troubles Upashantayey - Remove

Shukla - Shukla Paksha (white) Krishna Paksha (black) -
Ambara - sky Garment - Pithaambara - Yellow dress
Dharam -Wearer ( bearer) Dhaari or Dharani
shuklambaradharam - the wearer of white clothing

 
Vishnu -indicates Lord Vishnu
Shashi - Moon Varnam- Color
shashivarnam -  ‘varna‘ is colour. shashi means ‘the moon’ 
Chatur-Four Bhujam-Hands/Shoulders - (think of Vinayaka Chaturthi – 4th day of the fortnight)

 
Prasanna - Happy
Vadanam -is face (Gajavadhana is Lord Ganesha)
 Dhyaye-Pray/Medidate Sarva - All
Vighna- is obstacles (vigneshwara – Lord Ganesha) 
Sarva - All or everything Upashantayey - remove/eliminate.

Vighanopashantiyey -Remove all obstables

1 Timothy - Adam and Eve - Man and Woman - Husband and Wife

  8  I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.  9  In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not *  with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,  10  but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.  11  Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.  12  But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.  13  For Adam was formed first, then Eve.  14  Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;  15  but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety. P.S: This has to be read only in the context and depends from person to person and relationship to relationship. Source: https://ebible.org/web/1TI02.htm This...
