English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Vidaranaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *vi* + *daarana* (splitter, tearer, destroyer); "The Great Destroyer and Splitter of Evil" - He splits apart all demonic forces, all ignorance, and all obstruction to the divine order with the precision of a master surgeon.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Vidaarana* means to tear, rend, or split apart. Vishnu as Vidaarana destroys evil forces — not through slow attrition but with divine ferocity and decisiveness. The most dramatic mythological expression is the Narasimha avatar — where Vishnu literally *tore apart* (*vidaarana*) Hiranyakashipu with His divine lion claws. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The cosmic evil being "torn apart" by Vishnu includes not just external demonic forces but the inner demons of ignorance, ego, and delusion. The Sudarshana Chakra (Vishnu's spinning discus) is the primary instrument of *Vidaarana* — it cuts through all illusion and evil with the precision of divine discrimination. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (7.8-9) describes in vivid detail the Narasimha *Vidaarana* — the supreme Vidaarana, where Vishnu, in His half-man/half-lion form, placed Hiranyakashipu on His lap (to technically be neither on earth, water, nor sky), at twilight (neither day nor night), and tore the demon apart with His bare claws (no weapon). This elaborate fulfillment of every technical condition of the demon's boons demonstrates that Vishnu's Vidaarana is ultimately inescapable.
