Om Anarthaya Namah।

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'An' (without) + 'Artha' (purpose, need, motive). Vishnu is Anarthah — He who acts without any selfish purpose or ulterior motive. While all human beings act for some artha (goal or gain), Vishnu's every action is Anarthah — spontaneous, pure, and free from any self-seeking. He creates, sustains, and dissolves the universe without any personal need or advantage. ** Mythological Significance The Bhagavad Gita directly expresses this when Krishna says: 'Na me paartha'sti kartavyam trishu lokeshu kinchana — O Arjuna, there is nothing in all three worlds that I need to do or gain.' He takes Avatars not because He lacks anything but purely out of compassion. This divine action-without-need is Anarthah. The story of Vishnu's resting on Ananta-Shesha is also an expression of Anarthah — His very being (existence) needs no external purpose or justification. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning In Vedanta, Brahman (Vishnu) is described as Nirvikalpam (without modification), Nirghuno (without attributes), Nirabha (without appearance) — completely selfsufficient and purposeless (in the worldly sense). Yet from this Anarthah springs all of creation! This is the great mystery. In the devotee's life, Anarthah is the model for Nishkama Karma (action without selfish desire) — the Gita's central teaching. Acting for Vishnu, without personal agenda, transforms all action into worship. References: Bhagavad Gita 3.22-24; Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.4; Vishnu Purana 6.5; Kena Upanishad 1.4
