Om Satyaparakramaya Namah।

From satya (truth) + paraakrama (valor, heroic power); "He Whose Heroic Power Is Rooted in Truth" - all His mighty deeds and victories spring not from force alone but from His unshakeable foundation in absolute truth.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Satya* = truth and *paraakrama* = valor/heroism/prowess. Vishnu's power and valor are never arbitrary — they are always exercised in the service of truth and righteousness. He does not fight to dominate but to restore truth. And His valor, being grounded in truth, is unconquerable — because truth itself is ultimately unconquerable. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Ramayana is the supreme narrative of Satya-Paraakrama — Rama's entire heroic journey is an exercise of *satya* (truth/oath) expressed through *paraakrama* (valor). His father Dasharatha's word must be honored even at the cost of Rama's throne; the demons must be fought even at the cost of immense hardship. Every act of valor is in service of a higher truth. The Bhagavad Gita (4.7-8) describes Vishnu's avatars as acts of Satya-Paraakrama — the divine valor deployed *specifically* for the protection of truth (*dharma*): *"Whenever dharma declines and adharma rises, I manifest Myself."* **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana presents all of Vishnu's avatars as expressions of Satya-Paraakrama — each one demonstrating that the valor of the divine is ultimately in service of cosmic truth. The story of Prahlada's unfailing devotion to Vishnu's truth — even when faced with his father's murderous wrath — and Vishnu's response as Narasimha is the supreme mythological expression of this name.
