Om Vachaspataye Ayonijaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Vaachas-pati* = lord of speech (another name for Brihaspati, the guru of the gods) and *Ayonija* = not born from a womb (self-manifested). Vishnu as Vaachaspati is the supreme lord of all speech — all sacred language, all mantras, all meaningful communication ultimately flows from Him. As Ayonija, He is self-manifest — not born through ordinary biological process but appearing by His own divine will. **Spiritual Interpretation
*Vak* (sacred speech) is identified in the Vedas as a goddess and as the primordial creative principle (*Vak-Brahman*). The *Shabda-Brahman* (Brahman as sound/word) tradition identifies Vishnu as the supreme *Vaachaspati* — the lord who gives all words their meaning and power. The Rigveda's famous verse *"Ekam sat vipraa bahudhaa vadanti"* — "Truth is one; the wise call it by many names" — points to Vishnu as the one truth behind all sacred speech. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana describes Vishnu as the source of the Vedic *Vak* — the sacred speech manifested from His divine breathing during the previous cosmic cycle. Brihaspati, the guru of the gods and lord of sacred speech, is Vishnu's manifestation in the realm of divine intelligence and communication.
