namam no. 383) vikartaa (विकर्ता) (వికర్తా)

aum vikartre namah (ओं विकर्त्रे नमः) (ఓం వికర్త్రే నమః)

The namam 'vikartaa' means the one who changes.  As He also goes through the changes of joys and sorrows in Him, He is called vikartaa.

In the earlier namam 'kartaa', it has been said that He performs His tasks independently and that He enjoys the resultant joys and sorrows also. The objective of the creation is to save the beings from drowning in the samsaara saagara and elevate them to His abode. Like a father worries about his children going astray, He also goes through the pain when His people experience the difficulties in pursuit of their ambitions. Also when some of them attain moksha, He feels the joy of accomplishing results of good work. Thus, as He also goes through these changes in the form of joys and sorrows, He is called vikartaa.

aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya!
