ॐ शिवाय नमः।
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Important theological note:** The name Śiva appearing in the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma is a subject of deep commentary. This is not a reference to Rudra-Śiva (the deity of the Śaiva tradition) but rather to Viṣṇu's own intrinsically auspicious nature. Śaṅkarācārya's commentary on this name is particularly careful: Viṣṇu is Śiva because His very nature is pure, good, and free from all taint of evil. **Hari-Hara unity:** However, many commentators — particularly in the tradition of Śrī Vaiṣṇavism — note that this name also affirms the non-difference at the highest level between Viṣṇu and Śiva, as celebrated in the Skanda Purāṇa: *"Śivaśca Nārāyaṇaḥ"* — "Śiva is none other than Nārāyaṇa." The Mahābhārata (Anuśāsana Parva) contains the celebrated Hari-Hara dialogue affirming their essential unity. **Bhāgavata Purāṇa (12.13.16):** *"Nārāyaṇaḥ paro'vyaktāt..."* — Nārāyaṇa is beyond the unmanifest; He is the supreme auspicious ground of all existence. As Śivaḥ, Viṣṇu is the source from which all that is good, beautiful, and blessed originates.

अत्यंत कल्याणकारी.
