namam no. 374) amitaaSanah (अमिताशनः) (అమితాశనః)

aum amitaaSanaaya namah (ओं अमिताशनाय नमः) (ఓం అమితాశనాయ నమః)

This namam amitaasanahreveals through an example His unstoppable nature that was described by the previous name of ‘vegavaan.'

The word ‘amitaasanah' means the one who ate an unlimited amount of food. He showed his power once by consuming, as a 5-year old boy, all the huge mountain-like pile of food that the people of Gokul actually offered to Indra as a sign of their reverence towards Indra for giving them the rain with which they thought they could grow their crops. 

How was it possible for a 5-year old little Krishna to eat all of that food? That is a sign of His godliness. This is just one of the many instances where we could notice his deeds that signified His godliness.

aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya!
