Meaning:
Om Parameshthine Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *parama* (supreme) + *esthee* (one who is established, who dwells in the highest); "He Who Dwells in the Highest Supreme Place" - established permanently in the transcendent supreme state that is His own infinite nature.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Parama' (supreme, highest) + 'Eshtha' (standing, established, situated). Vishnu is Parameshthee — He who is forever established in the supreme place (Paramapada), who stands at the very pinnacle of all existence. No being, no realm, no state of consciousness is higher than Vishnu as Parameshthee. He is the Apex of all that exists. ** Mythological Significance The term Parameshthee is often used for Brahma (who sits at the top of the lotus-stalk in the highest world of the manifest cosmos). But ultimately, Vishnu is ParamaParameshthee — supreme even above Brahma's supreme position. When Brahma was unable to create and went into meditation, Vishnu revealed the Vedas to him — demonstrating that even the highest creative intelligence (Brahma at his Parameshtha-position) receives his knowledge from Vishnu above. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning Philosophically, Parameshthee points to Vishnu's status as the absolutely highest ontological reality — Niratishaya-uttama (the supremely excellent, without anything greater). In both Advaita (Shankaracharya) and Vishishtadvaita (Ramanuja), Brahman/Vishnu is the highest — though they differ in how they understand the relationship of the individual soul to this highest reality. For the devotee, the aspiration to reach Paramapada — Vishnu's abode — is the ultimate spiritual goal represented by this name. References: Srimad
