## Philosophical Framework: Tattvavada (Dvaita Vedanta)
1. **Guna-Purnatva (Omni-perfection):** Every name denotes Sriman Narayana as endowed with infinite auspicious qualities (*Ananta-kalyana-guna-paripurna*).
2. **Nirdoshatva (Flawlessness):** Sriman Narayana is free from all defects, material ignorance, and decay (*Ashesha-dosha-rahita*).
3. **Antaryami & Svatantrya:** The Lord is the sole Independent Reality (*Svatantra*), residing in all beings as the indwelling Inner Controller (*Antaryami*) without becoming identical to the soul (*Bimba-Pratibimba-Bhava*).
4. **Sarva-Shabda-Vachya:** All Vedic names (including Shiva, Rudra, Brahma, Indra, Agni) denote Vishnu in the highest etymological sense (*Parama-mukhya-vritti*).
5. **No Tautology (Punarukti-parihara):** The 95 repeating names are explained with distinct non-overlapping etymological roots (*dhatu-artha*).
