ॐ अनयाय नमः।

ज्याच्या पुढे कोणीच नाही, जो स्वतःच सर्वोच्च आहे, तो अनयः. त्याला कोणाचे मार्गदर्शन लागत नाही, कारण तोच सर्वांना दिशा देतो. स्वतंत्र, स्वयंप्रकाश आणि परमश्रेष्ठ असा हा नामभाव आहे.

English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Anayaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *an* (not) + *naya* (one who is led); "He Who Is Led by None, the Self-Directed One" - He has no one above Him who could lead or direct Him; He is the supreme self-directed being who acts according to His own absolute will.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'An' (without) + 'Naya' (guide, leader). Vishnu is Anayah — He who has no leader or guide above Him. He is self-sufficient, self-governing, and independent (Swatantra). While He guides all others (Nayah), He Himself requires no guidance — for He IS the source of all wisdom. He is the beginning of all guidance, the first and final cause without any prior cause. ** Mythological Significance The Vedic texts repeatedly pose the question: 'Who made Vishnu? Who is above Vishnu?' The answer is always the same: no one. Even the great Brahma, after emerging from Vishnu's navel-lotus, could not find the bottom of Vishnu's lotus stem — there was none. When he looked upward, there was no end to Vishnu's form. He is Anayah — the one who has no superior, no guide, no source beyond Himself. The Shiva-Vishnu debates in the Puranas always conclude with the supremacy of the one who is Anayah — self-sufficient and eternal. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning Vedanta teaches that Brahman alone is Swatantra (absolutely independent) while all else is Para-tantra (dependent on another). Vishnu as Anayah is this absolute Selfsovereignty. In Dvaita Vedanta (Madhvacharya), this is the fundamental ontological distinction: only Vishnu is Svatantra — all other beings, including even liberated souls, are Paratantra. This name instills the devotee's profound humility: I am guided, but the one I turn to has no need of guidance.
