English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Virabahave Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *veera* (heroic, brave) + *baahu* (arm); "He of Heroic and Mighty Arms" - His arms are the instruments of cosmic heroism; with them He wields His weapons of protection and liberation.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Veera* = heroic/mighty and *baahu* = arm. Vishnu's divine arms — four of them in His standard form — are the supreme instruments of cosmic valor. These arms bear the four divine weapons (*Shankha, Chakra, Gada, Padma*) and also embrace devotees with divine compassion. They are simultaneously arms of justice and arms of love. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> In iconographic meditation (*Pratima-Dhyana*), the devotee contemplates each of Vishnu's four arms and their weapons, understanding the cosmic function of each. The arm bearing the *Gada* (mace) represents Vishnu's power; the arm bearing the *Sudarshana* represents His discriminating wisdom; the arm bearing the *Shankha* represents His divine proclamation; and the arm bearing the *Padma* represents His grace. All four together as *Veerabaahu* represent the complete, heroic divine power applied to the protection of *dharma* and the liberation of souls. **Puranic Reference<br> The Ramayana's portrayal of Rama as *Veerabaahu* — the mighty-armed one — is particularly celebrated. His arms are described as reaching to His knees, indicating divine kingship and warrior excellence. The killing of Ravana with the *Brahmastra* through His mighty arm is the ultimate mythological expression of Veerabaahu.
