namam no. 263) vardhamaanah (वर्धमानः) (వర్ధమానః)

aum vardhamaanaaya namah (ओं वर्धमानाय नमः) (ఓం వర్ధమానాయ నమః)

vrudhu = grow (n); to grow (v)

The words growing and nurturing are synonyms. As described in the earlier namam, He nurtures His devotees like a mother. This namam vardhamaanah further reveals that He also becomes joyful by His such a nurturing of His devotees and seeing them safe. 

Another reason why paramaatma is called vardhamaanah refers to the 'growth' in His devotees and their devotion towards Him.

aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya!
