We have already seen the wonder of grouping all the three holy Ficus plants in one sloka of Vishnu Sahasranama (VS)

Three Holy Ficus Trees (Banyan, Pepul, Udumbara) of Family Moraceae.

Plant Soma is also explained already.

Here more plant names who are considered Gods in VS.

Vrksah – Word number 555

One who is unshakable like a tree. Svatesvatara Upanishad

3-9 says,

Vrksa iva stabhdo divi tisthatyekah – in the spiritual dimension the Paramatma stands alone, unmoving like tree.

xxxxx

Mahidharah – Word number 369

One who props up the earth in the form of mountain.

Vishnu Purana says 2-12-38

Vanaani vishnur girayo disas ca- forests , mountains, quarters, all these are Vishnu Himself.

My comments

Vishnu purana is the oldest purana. V.S. is the oldest sahasranama. Both praise nature as God. We cant see such a thing anywhere in the old.

jagatah Setuh – Word number 288

People’s Bridge or World Bridge

One who is the bridge to go across the ocean of Samsara.

Or one who like a setuh or a bund preserves the social order.

Says Brhadaranya Upanishad 4-4-22

Eas settur vidharana esaam lokaanaam asambhedaaya-

He is verily the Setu, the bund, that saves the worlds from the chaos of intermingling.

Sea in VS

Apaam nidih- Word number 323

The word means water source or the ocean. the Gita 10-24 says Sarasaam asmi saagarah- among all the pools of water, I am Samudra or ocean. the Lord is called by that name because the ocean is one of His special manifestations.

Ambhonidhih – Word number 517

It can mean what is said in the Gita 10-24

Sarasaam asmi saagarah- among all the pools of water, I am Samudra or ocean. or one in whom the Ambas or all beings from Devas down dwell.

Ratnagarbah – Word number 473

The ocean is so called because gems are found in its depths. As the Lord has taken the form of the ocean, He is called by this name.

Srutissaagarah- Word number 264

Vedic Ocean. one to whom all the Sruti or Vedic words and sentences flow (that is, have as their purport just as all water flows to the ocean)

–Subham—
