मराठी अर्थ
शब्द:
ॐ अनिर्देश्यवपुषे नमः।
विवेचन:
ज्याच्या स्वरूपाचे पूर्ण वर्णन करणे अशक्य आहे, तो अनिर्देश्यवपुः. तो रूपातही आहे आणि अरूपातही आहे; त्यामुळे तो शब्दांच्या मर्यादेत बसत नाही. अनुभवता येणारे पण सांगता न येणारे दैवी सौंदर्य म्हणजे तो.
अर्थ:
ज्याचे स्वरूप शब्दांनी सांगता येत नाही.
English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Anirdeshyavapushe Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From an (not) + nirdeshya (describable, point-outable) + vapuh (form/body); "He Whose Form Cannot Be Described or Defined" - His true form transcends all description, all categories, all concepts; words and thoughts cannot capture what He truly is.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Anirdeshya* means indescribable/indefinable and *vapu* means form/body. Vishnu's divine form transcends all description — no language, no art, no concept can fully capture it. Whatever description is given, the reality exceeds it. Whatever image is formed, the actual divine form transcends it. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> This name paradoxically appears in the Sahasranama itself — which is full of descriptions of Vishnu. The teaching is that while descriptions are useful pointers, they must never be mistaken for the reality. The Kena Upanishad's famous teaching applies here: *"If you think you know Brahman, you know only a little; the fullness remains unknown."* **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (10.14.22) has Brahma acknowledging: *"No one can describe Your form, O Lord — not Shesha the great serpent, nor Shiva, nor I, in endless lifetimes."* This confession of the limits of description is the bhakti acknowledgment of Anirdeshya-Vapu.
