namam no. 234) ahassamvartakah (अहससंवर्तकः) (అహస్సంవర్తకః)

om ahassamvartakaaya namah (ओं अहससम्वर्तकाय नमः) (ఓం అహస్సంవర్తకాయ నమః)

ahas = daytime
samvartakah = one who rotates

In this namam, the word 'ahan' refers to time. As the god is the cause of the consequences of that time, He is called ahassamvartakah.

He is ahassamvartakah as he rotates the wheel of time. A week begins after completion of a week. A month begins as another ends with an amaavaasya. Similarly, the year, the yugas, and the manyantaraas rotate in a systematic pattern. With the pace of time and the wheel of the creation - pralayam - recreation - pralayam is all under the control of the paramaatma.

om namo bhagavate vasudevaya!
