Om Pavanaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From the same root pav; "He Who Causes Purification" - while Pavanah is the wind itself, Paavanah is the active purifying agent that makes others pure.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> While Pavana (previous) purifies others, Pāvana IS pure Himself - never contaminated. **Interpretation<br> Pāvana means supremely pure, sacred, holy. Viṣṇu is absolute purity itself. **Mythological Story<br> The difference between Pavana and Pāvana is crucial: Pavana is the purifying AGENT (purifies others); Pāvana is the pure ESSENCE (is pure Himself). When Gaṅgā descended from heaven, she was considered supremely purifying (pāvanī - fem. of pāvana) because she flowed from Viṣṇu's feet! The Pāvana's touch makes things pure. When Kṛṣṇa played His flute (made from hollow bamboo), the instrument became pāvana (sacred). When He walked barefoot in Vṛndāvana, the earth became pāvana (holy ground). When He spoke the Gītā, the words became pāvana vāṇī (sacred speech). But unlike soap (which purifies others but eventually becomes dirty itself), the Pāvana purifies infinite beings across infinite time while remaining absolutely pure - never absorbing even an atom of impurity! For devotees, understanding the Pāvana means: when you purify yourself through spiritual practice, you're not "becoming pure" but "removing veils" hiding your inherent Pāvana nature (which is Viṣṇu's nature, your true essence). The practice: instead of "I must become pure" (implying you're impure), affirm "I am revealing my inherent Pāvana nature by removing impurities."
