ॐ पूतात्मने नमः।

जो स्वभावतः शुद्ध, पवित्र आणि पापरहित आहे, तो पूतात्मा. त्याच्या सान्निध्याने मन, बुद्धी आणि चित्त यांची शुद्धी होते. तो स्वतः निर्मळ असल्याने भक्तांनाही पवित्रतेकडे नेतो

English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Putatmane Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *poota* (purified, cleansed) + *atma* (self); "He Whose Self Is Absolutely Pure" — untouched by any impurity of body, mind, or action, His nature is pristine purity itself.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Vedantic significance<br> Purity here is not a moral quality acquired through effort — it is the intrinsic nature of the Absolute. The Lord's Self (‘ātmā’) is ‘pūta’ (pure, cleansed) in the sense that it was never contaminated in the first place. The Kaṭha Upaniṣad (2.2.15): ‘"Śuddham apāpaviddham"‘ — "Pure, untouched by sin." This is the foundational purity that makes Viṣṇu the purifier of others: just as a clean cloth can clean another cloth, the Lord whose nature is ‘Pūtātmā’ purifies the devotee's heart through contact. **Practical dimension<br> The recitation of the Vishnu Sahasranama is prescribed as a purification practice precisely because the names embody this quality. To dwell in the names of Pūtātmā is to participate in His purity.
