dear sridhar,
before you keep posting variants of the same question over and over again,
please take the time and go thoroughly over the various tutorials that explain
how to set up simple and not so simple simulations with namd, build topologies
and so on, and also search the mailing list archives. practically everything you
ask about has been answered before and it looks like you are making your
own life needlessly complicated by working out all the details in small steps.

from the PDB file format documentation:
The MASTER record is a control record for bookkeeping.
it will be ignored.
the documentation for the PDB file format is available online.
this a simple search in google would have answer your question...
cheers,
axel.
