English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Sahishnave Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *sah* (to endure, to bear); "The Supremely Patient and Enduring One" — He bears with infinite patience all the imperfections and transgressions of created beings, enduring all without anger or abandonment
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**The divine forbearance<br> ‘Sahiṣṇu’ comes from ‘sah’ — to endure, to be patient. Viṣṇu as Sahiṣṇuḥ is the one who bears the weight of all creation — all its beauty AND all its ugliness, all its devotion AND all its defiance — with infinite patience. He endures the insults of the proud, the forgetfulness of the negligent, and the deliberate provocations of the wicked with a cosmic equanimity that no human patience can match. **Mythological dimension<br> The story of Hiraṇyakaśipu is the supreme illustration of this name. For long cosmic ages, this demon tortured his own devotee-son Prahlāda, desecrated Viṣṇu's name, and conducted himself with complete adharma — and the Lord waited, with infinite Sahiṣṇutā (patience), until the precise moment when intervention would achieve the greatest good. His patience is not passivity — it is the patience of infinite wisdom, knowing exactly when to act and when to wait. **Devotional application<br> The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (11.2.46) lists ‘titikṣā’ (forbearance) as an essential quality of the devotee — one that is modeled on and inspired by the Lord's own Sahiṣṇutā. The devotee who learns to endure difficulties with equanimity is imitating Viṣṇu as Sahiṣṇuḥ.
