English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Parigrahaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *pari* (all around) + *graha* (taking, receiving, seizing); "He Who Receives All and Holds All Around" - He accepts all offerings from all beings with equal grace; also, He holds the entire cosmos in His embrace.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Pari' (around, completely) + 'Graha' (taking, receiving, encompassing). Vishnu is Parigrahah — He who receives all offerings completely and gratefully, who encompasses all of creation within His divine nature, and who is worthy of receiving the gift of the devotee's entire self. He accepts not just ritual offerings but every aspect of the devotee's life when surrendered to Him. ** Mythological Significance The Bhagavata Purana's story of Bali Chakravarti and Vamana is the supreme myth of Parigrahah. When King Bali declared 'I give whatever you ask for' and then Vamana (Vishnu) revealed His cosmic form and took everything — all three worlds — in three steps, Bali lost everything materially but gained everything spiritually. Vishnu as Parigrahah received all that Bali had to give, including Bali's ego. In exchange, Vishnu placed Bali in the position of the next Indra — divine grace for total surrender. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning In the tradition of Atma-nivedana (surrender of the self), the devotee offers everything to Vishnu as Parigrahah: body, mind, intellect, ego, possessions, actions, and ultimately the very sense of doership. The Gita (9.27) says: 'Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer, whatever you give, whatever austerity you perform — do that as an offering to Me.' Vishnu as Parigrahah is the divine receiver of this complete offering. References: Bhagavad Gita 9.27; Srimad Bhagavatam 8.21-22 (Bali and Vamana); Vishnu Purana 3.1; Narada Bhakti Sutras 82
