Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Nishtha* means firm establishment, steady support, unwavering commitment. Vishnu as Nishtha is the immovable foundation upon which the entire cosmos rests. All of creation has its *nishtha* (firm basis) in Him — without His sustaining power, nothing could maintain its existence even for a moment. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The *Bhakti* tradition speaks of *Ananya-Nishtha* — single-pointed devotion to Vishnu alone, without wavering. Vishnu as Nishtha is both the object of this steadfast devotion and the source of the steadfastness itself. The devotee who has *Vishnu-Nishtha* (firm establishment in Vishnu) is described in the Bhagavad Gita as the *Sthita-Prajna* — the one of steady wisdom. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana's *Narada-Bhakti-Sutra* describes the nine forms of devotion (*Nava-Vidha-Bhakti*), all culminating in *Nishtha* — firm, unwavering devotion to Vishnu. The story of Prahlada is the supreme mythological expression of *Nishtha* — his devotion to Vishnu remained absolutely steady (*Nishtha*) despite his father's most extreme persecutions.
