Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Vedantic depth
If ‘Viśvam’ declares that He IS the universe, ‘Viṣṇuḥ’ declares that He pervades it — that even within the universe no point is devoid of His presence. This is the doctrine of ‘sarvavyāpakatva’ (omnipresence). He is not present in temples alone, or in sacred rivers alone — He is present in stone and sky, in sinner and saint, in worm and world-creator. **Etymology
The root ‘viś’ (to pervade) with the suffix ‘nu’ gives ‘viṣṇu’. Yāska's Nirukta explains: ‘"Viṣṇur viśater vā syāt"‘ — Viṣṇu is so named because He pervades (‘viśati’) everything. The Viṣṇu Purāṇa (3.1.45) gives the classic definition: ‘"Vyāpnoti tat samastam hi tena Viṣṇur iti smṛtaḥ"‘ — "Because He pervades all, He is remembered as Viṣṇu." **Scriptural references
The Ṛg Veda (1.22.20): ‘"Tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṃ padaṃ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ"‘ — "The wise ever behold that supreme abode of Viṣṇu." This verse, among the most ancient in the Veda, establishes Viṣṇu as the supreme goal of all spiritual vision. The Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad (1.4.17) alludes to the all-pervading nature of the supreme Self. The name Viṣṇuḥ is thus the name that gives this entire stotra — and the entire tradition of Vaiṣṇavism — its identity.
