Simple Meaning:
From mahaa + dyuti (radiance, light, brilliance); "He of Supreme Radiance and Brilliance" - His light outshines all suns and all luminaries; He is the ultimate source of all light.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Mahaa* = great and *dyuti* = radiance/splendor/luminosity. Vishnu's divine radiance (*tejah*) surpasses the combined brilliance of all suns, all stars, and all sources of light in creation. His *prabha* (divine light) is the light behind all lights — the consciousness that makes all awareness possible. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Mundaka Upanishad (2.2.10): *"There the sun shines not, nor the moon and stars, nor these lightnings; how can this fire? When He shines, everything shines; by His light all this is lit."* Vishnu as Mahadyuti is this self-luminous source-light that illuminates the entire cosmos. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana describes the Vaikuntha realm as self-luminous with Vishnu's radiance — no sun is needed there. Similarly, the cosmic form (*Vishvarupa*) shown to Arjuna (Bhagavad Gita 11.12) is described as radiating the light of a thousand suns — the mythological expression of Mahadyuti.
