Narayana is the name of the Supreme God in his infinite all pervading form. He is the Purusha of Purusha Suktam. Narayana is another name for Vishnu, as Vishnu is a finite form of infinite Narayan. He is also known as Hari. Understand that God is both infinite and finite. The Puranas present a seemingly divergent, but accurate (for an enlightened being) description of Narayana. The fifth verse of the Narayana Sukta, a hymn in Yajurveda, states that Narayana pervades whatever is seen or heard in this universe from inside and outside alike. Another important translation of Narayana is "The First Being", according to the Manu Smriti.
The Narayana Upnaishad states that Narayana is the eternal being: and therefore Narayana is Brahma. Narayana is Shiva. Narayana is Indra. Narayana is time. Narayana is the primary directions. Narayana is the subdirections. Narayana is above. Narayana is below. Narayana is within and without. Narayana is certainly everything; past, present and future. He is 'nishkalam' without material parts [although all beings are part of Narayana]. Being free from all falsehood, matter, He is 'niranjanah' or Brahman. He is without any master 'nirvikalpah.' He is 'nirakhyatah' invisible to the masses in general [even though He is everywhere]. Narayana is the pure effulgent Supreme Personality of Godhead: no one else, without a second to compare. He, Lord Narayana, manifests in this world as Shri Vishnu. Certainly, He appears as Shri Vishnu.
This stotram, like the one we covered last, Sri Devanayaka Panchasat, is on Devanayaka Perumal of Thiruvahindrapuram. The word "Shatakam" in the title refers to the 100 shloka-s (actually there are 101 including the phala Sruti) in the stotram. The nâma achyuta means "He who does not let His devotees slip": न च्यावयति इति अच्युतः.
One special aspect of this stotram is that it is written in the Prakrit (/prâkṛta/) language by Swami Desikan. Prakrit can be considered colloquial samskṛt, which seems to have been used in day-to-day communication in the olden days by those who did not use grammatical samskṛt in their conversations. In course of time, grammatical rules evolved for Prakrit as well, and it evolved as a language in its own right.
Vedanta Desika (Swami Desikan, Swami Vedanta Desikan, Thoopul Nigamaantha Desikan) (1269--1370) was a Sri Vaishnava Guru. He was a poet, devotee, philosopher and master-teacher. He was the disciple of Swamy Sri Kidambi Appullar alias Sri Aathreya Ramanujachariar who comes in the lineage starting from Sri Ramanuja with Sri Thirukurugai Piran Pillan alias Sri Kurugesar,Sri Kidambi Aachan, Sri Aathreya Ramanujar, Sri Aathreya Rangarajachariar and many in the order. He is considered as an Avatar (incarnation) of the divine bell of Lord Venkateswara of Tirumalai by Sri Vaishnavites.
