4 – sankalpamu kalavADu – The Supreme Lord is called (among many other names) as ‘satya kAma’ and ‘satya sankalpa’.
vishNu sahasra nAma (253) – ‘siddha sankalpaH’ – “sankalpa means ‘intellectual willing and wishing’. One who gains all that He wishes for, or One who immediately gains what He wills is called siddha-sankalpaH. Ordinarily we fail to gain what we demand because of the disintegration within ourselves. The Lord, the Perfect, is One who instantaneously gains all that He wishes; hence the Upanishads define Him as the satya sankalpavAn.” (Meanings: based upon the commentary of SankarAcArya) vishNu sahasra nAma
The 'sankalpa' of the Supreme Lord (Or ISvara) is called ‘satya' or 'siddha’. On the other hand 'sankalpa' (resolve) of man which is, invariably, with a motive, is decried as being the source of bondage. The following verse from SrImad-bhagavad-gItA, Chapter 6 refers –
sankalpa-prabhavAn-kAmAMs-tyaktvA sarvAn-aSEshataH ||
manasaivEndriya-grAmaM viniyamya samantataH || 24 ||
“Abandoning without reserve all desires born of sankalpa, and completely restraining by the mind alone, the whole group of senses from their objects in all directions......”; (Continued in Next verse) (Translation by Swami Swarupananda)

5 – SEsha – The true significance of SEsha –
".....the Supreme Lord is recognized as 'Seshi' or Ucchishtam in the Vedic terminology. Seshi is the final reality, when nothing else exists as at the time of MahA PraLayam. At that time, the entire creation passes into the primordial matter, devoid of name and form and only Iswaran exists as Seshi. He is not subject to change, decay or death. He is the progenitor of all as Seshi. Every thing is reborn from him at this time of mahA praLayA. Whatever is generated from the Seshi is known as Sesha. The relationship between Iswaran (Seshi) and His creation (sesha) that decays after finite life is known as Sesha-Seshi bhAvam...." SEsha - SEshi
