Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Artha' is one of the four Purusharthas (aims of human life): Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth/purpose), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). As 'Arthah,' Vishnu is the true meaning and purpose behind all things — the goal that all existence is oriented toward. He is also the supreme 'wealth' (Parama-artha) — knowing Him is the greatest thing one can acquire. ** Mythological Significance The Bhagavata Purana's opening invocation declares that the text is meant to reveal Parama-artha-tattva — the ultimate truth of the supreme purpose (Vishnu). Every Avatar story in the Puranas has an Artha (purpose) — Matsya to save the Vedas, Kurma to support the churning mountain, Varaha to rescue the Earth — each purpose fulfilled perfectly. The Mahabharata, which contains the Bhagavad Gita, is itself described as the fifth Veda — 'Jaya' — whose Artha (essential meaning) is Vishnu. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning In Sanskrit, 'Artha' also means word-meaning — the content of speech that communicates. Vishnu as Arthah means He is the supreme referent — the final meaning — of all language, all scripture, all teaching. The Vedas speak endlessly of Brahman, and Brahman-Vishnu is the Artha of all their words. The Gita says: 'Vedaanta-krit vedavideva chaham — I am the Vedanta (end of the Vedas) and I am the knower of the Vedas.' Vishnu as Arthah is the meaning behind all Vedic words.
