English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Vrishapriyaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From vrisha (dharma, righteousness, the bull) + priya (beloved, dear); "He Who Loves Righteousness, He to Whom Dharma Is Dear" - of all things in creation, nothing is more beloved to Him than righteousness; He cherishes dharma above all.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Vrisha* = bull/dharma and *priya* = dear/beloved. Vishnu as Vrishapriya loves dharma supremely — all His cosmic activity, all His avatars, all His divine interventions are motivated by His love for *dharma* (righteousness). He also loves those who embody dharma — the righteous, the devoted, and the truth-seeking. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (4.7-8): *"Whenever there is a decline of dharma and ascent of adharma, I manifest Myself. For the protection of the virtuous, for the destruction of the wicked, and for the establishment of dharma, I am born age after age."* This is Vrishapriya in action — Vishnu's love for *Vrisha* (dharma) motivating His cosmic responses. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana narrates the cosmic conversation between the earth goddess (*Bhudevi*) and the four-legged bull of Dharma — the bull reduced to one leg (Truth alone) in the Kali age, the other three legs (Purity, Compassion, Charity) having been broken by the forces of adharma. Vishnu, as the supreme Vrishapriya, responds to the earth's plea and arranges for the coming of the Kalki avatar to restore the Dharma-bull to full strength.
