Om Satamgataye Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From sata (the good, the righteous) + gati (path, destination, refuge); "The Path and Refuge of the Righteous" - the goal toward which all good people naturally move, the ultimate destination for all who walk the path of righteousness.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Sat* means existence/truth/virtue and *gati* means path/goal/refuge. Vishnu is the ultimate destination of all virtuous souls — not merely a temporary resting place but the final, eternal goal. All dharmic living, all spiritual practice, all sacred knowledge ultimately leads to Him as the supreme *gati* (destination). **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita's final teaching (18.65-66) points to this Gati: *"Think of Me, be devoted to Me, worship Me, bow to Me — you shall come to Me. I promise you truly, for you are dear to Me. Abandon all dharmas and come to Me alone for refuge."* This is Vishnu as the Sataam-Gati — the ultimate destination of all who sincerely seek the good. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana states that all the rivers of dharmic living — Vedic study, charity, pilgrimage, sacrifice — all ultimately flow into the ocean of Vishnu as the supreme Sataam-Gati. Just as rivers find their destination in the sea, all virtue finds its fulfillment in Vishnu.
