Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Govidam* means knowers of *go* (Vedas/truth/light) and *pati* means lord/master. Vishnu is the supreme lord of all those who possess Vedic knowledge — sages, seers, and enlightened beings are all His devotees and ultimately under His divine lordship. No matter how great the knowledge, the knower bows to the source of all knowledge. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (15.15): *"I am seated in the hearts of all; from Me come memory, knowledge, and their loss; I am the one to be known by all the Vedas; I am the author of the Vedanta and the knower of the Vedas."* Vishnu as Govidam-Pati is the supreme knower who is also the object of all knowledge. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana narrates how even Brahma — who has access to all Vedic knowledge — falls short in understanding Krishna, and must humbly prostrate before this Govidam-Pati who transcends all the knowledge that Brahma himself dispenses.
