Om Amrityave Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From a (not) + mrityu (death); "He Who Is Deathless, He Who Has No Death" - absolute immortality is His nature; He is the deathless source from which even the nectar of immortality flows.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Declares Vishnu's eternal, deathless nature. **Mythological Interpretation<br> "A-mṛtyu" means without death - Vishnu is eternally immortal, never subject to birth, aging, disease, or death. While His avatars appear to take birth and even seem to die, these are voluntary appearances for specific purposes, not actual birth and death. Krishna's departure from the mortal world wasn't death but conscious withdrawal - He returned to His eternal abode. This deathlessness extends beyond mere longevity. Even the gods like Brahma and Indra, though living for vast periods, eventually die and are replaced. Only Vishnu is truly immortal, existing before creation, throughout all cosmic cycles, and after dissolution. He is the eternal foundation of existence itself. For devotees, the significance is profound - connecting with Amṛtyu grants immortality. The Bhagavad Gita promises: "One who knows Me as the unborn and beginningless, the Supreme Lord of all the worlds, is undeluded among mortals and is freed from all sins." Knowing the deathless makes one deathless. The Lord's immortality becomes the devotee's immortality through grace. His abode is called Amṛta-loka, the deathless realm, where those who reach Him never return to mortality. These names from 501-510 reveal the paradoxical nature of Vishnu - beyond rules yet establishing them, immeasurable yet intimately knowable, the supreme teacher, perfect self-controller, the cosmic source from whose navel creation springs, the lord of all beings, and the eternally deathless reality that grants immortality to all who surrender to Him.
