Om Sragvine Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From sraj (garland, wreath) + vee (possessor); "He Who Always Wears the Divine Garland" - a reference to the Vaijayanti garland of five kinds of flowers He eternally wears, representing victory over all the five elements.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Sragvee* means one who wears a *sraja* (garland). Vishnu is perpetually adorned with His divine garland *Vaijayanti* — the garland of victory woven from five types of flowers representing the five great elements (*pancha-bhuta*). He is also adorned with the *Tulasi* (holy basil) garland — Tulasi being the most sacred plant-offering to Vishnu. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The garland (*maala*) in Hindu symbolism represents the devotee's loving offering to the Lord — and Vishnu as Sragvee is the one who graciously receives and perpetually wears the devotion of His countless devotees. Every *maala* offered to Vishnu in worship becomes part of His eternal Sragvee adornment. The *Japa-maala* (rosary used in chanting) is a human echo of the divine *maala* — just as Vishnu eternally wears His garland, the devotee perpetually counts the names of Vishnu on their *maala*. The circular garland also symbolizes the eternal cycle of creation — with Vishnu as the thread (*sutra*) that holds all the flowers (beings) together. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana's descriptions of Vishnu in Vaikuntha always include the *Vaijayanti* garland — described as eternally fresh, fragrant, and luminous. The Tulasi Mahatmya chapters in several Puranas describe how Tulasi (in her plant form) herself became Vishnu's garland — a touching mythology of a devotee so beloved that she permanently adorns the Lord.
