प्रह्लादस्य अव्यभिचारिणी भक्ति, मायाविनाशः, तथा विष्णोः विश्वरूप-स्तुतिः
नमस् तस्मै नमस् तस्मै नमस् तस्मै महात्मने नामरूपं न यस्यैको यो ऽस्तित्वेनोपलभ्यते
namas tasmai namas tasmai namas tasmai mahātmane nāmarūpaṃ na yasyaiko yo 'stitvenopalabhyate
त्यालाच नमस्कार, त्यालाच नमस्कार, त्या महात्म्याला नमस्कार; ज्याचे नाव-रूप नाही, जो एकमेव शुद्ध अस्तित्व म्हणूनच जाणवतो।
Sage Parāśara (in discourse to Maitreya; doxological praise within the teaching)
FAQs
This verse praises Vishnu as transcending all limiting descriptions (nāma-rūpa), indicating that the Supreme cannot be reduced to finite attributes, even though He may be worshipped through forms in devotion.
Parāśara frames the Highest as the One realized as sheer “Existence” (astitva/sat), establishing a metaphysical foundation for the later cosmological teachings (creation, dissolution, and order).
Vishnu is presented as Para Brahman—the ultimate ground of being—worthy of repeated salutations, anchoring Vaishnava theology where the Supreme is both transcendent and the source of cosmic sovereignty.
