Simple Meaning:
Repeated from name 143; "The Supreme Enjoyer and Experiencer" - reappearing here to remind us that at the 500th name mark, the ultimate truth remains: He is the one true experiencer for whom all creation exists.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Bhoktaa* means the one who enjoys, experiences, or consumes. As noted at name 143, Vishnu as Bhoktaa is the ultimate cosmic experiencer — the supreme Purusha who "enjoys" (experiences) creation through all its infinite forms. The repetition at this point in the Sahasranama emphasizes that even within the context of embodied existence (*shareera-bhoota*), Vishnu remains the supreme experiencer. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (13.22) identifies the supreme *Bhoktaa* within all bodies (*shareera*) as the supreme Lord — making this repetition contextually perfect after name 500 (*Shareera-Bhootabhrit*). The body is sustained by Vishnu (500) and the experience within that body is also enjoyed by Vishnu (501) — He is both the container and the content. **Puranic Reference<br> See name 143. The additional emphasis here is on the mystery of the *Antaryamin* — the inner controller (Vishnu) who experiences through every individual consciousness while remaining eternally free from karmic entanglement.
