English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Keshavaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *ka* (Brahma) + *a* (Vishnu) + *isha* (Shiva) + *va* (dwelling); or from *kesha* (hair/rays of light) + *va*; "He In Whom Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva Dwell" or "He of Beautiful Flowing Locks" — the supreme source from whom the trinity emerges.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Mythological reference<br> The demon Keśī was sent by Kaṃsa to kill the young Kṛṣṇa. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (10.37) narrates how Kṛṣṇa killed Keśī — a fierce horse-demon — by thrusting His arm down its throat. The sage Nārada thereupon addressed Kṛṣṇa as ‘Keśava’, and it is said that this is why Kṛṣṇa became known by this name. **Cosmological interpretation<br> The deeper interpretation — ‘Ka-Ī-Śa-va’ = controller of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva — places Keśava above the trimūrti, as the supreme source from which the three cosmic functions emerge. This is consistent with the Bhāgavata Purāṇa's hierarchical theology.
