Cosmic Appointments, Viṣṇu’s Vibhūtis, Fourfold Operation, and the Symbolism of Ornaments and Weapons
क्षराक्षरमयो विष्णुर् बिभर्त्य् अखिलम् ईश्वरः पुरुषाव्याकृतमयं भूषणास्त्रस्वरूपवत्
kṣarākṣaramayo viṣṇur bibharty akhilam īśvaraḥ puruṣāvyākṛtamayaṃ bhūṣaṇāstrasvarūpavat
ព្រះវិស្ណុ ជាព្រះអម្ចាស់ដ៏អធិបតី មានសភាពទាំងអស្ថិរនិងអស្ថិរមិនប្រែប្រួល ទ្រទ្រង់សកលលោកទាំងមូល។ ព្រះองค์ទ្រទ្រង់បុរុស និងអវ្យាក្រឹតនៅក្នុងព្រះអង្គ ដូចជាគ្រឿងអលង្ការ និងអាវុធរបស់ព្រះองค์។
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
This verse presents Vishnu as encompassing both the changing, manifest universe (kṣara) and the unchanging, imperishable principle (akṣara), asserting Him as the total ground of reality.
Parāśara describes both the conscious principle (Purusha) and the unmanifest primordial state (Avyākṛta) as contained and borne by Vishnu—dependent on Him rather than independent absolutes.
Vishnu is affirmed as Īśvara who sustains all existence, integrating transcendence and immanence—central to Vaishnava Vedanta where the Supreme is the support of both manifest and unmanifest reality.
