English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Vrishakapaye Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *vrisha* (dharma/righteousness) + *kaapi* (one who scatters or who moves); "He Who Scatters Righteousness Everywhere" — or a reference to His form as Vrishakapi mentioned in the Rig Veda, the divine boar-like figure associated with cosmic fertility and dharma
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Mythological significance<br> This unusual compound is one of the most richly debated names in the commentarial tradition. Some identify ‘Vṛṣākapī’ with a specific Vedic deity (the Ṛg Veda has a Vṛṣākapī hymn, 10.86). Most Vaiṣṇava commentators interpret it as pointing to Viṣṇu's avatāras where He took non-human forms — particularly as the cosmic boar (‘Varāha’, who upheld the earth as a bull upholds the yoke) and as the cause of great trembling in the cosmic order (‘kapi’ also meaning "one who causes to shake").
