मराठी अर्थ
शब्द:
ॐ संक्षेप्त्रे नमः।
विवेचन:
जो प्रलयकाळी संपूर्ण विश्वाला संक्षिप्त करून आपल्यात सामावून घेतो, तो संक्षेप्ता. विस्तारलेली सृष्टी पुन्हा एकरूप करण्याची दैवी शक्ती त्याच्यात आहे. उत्पत्तीइतकाच लयही त्याच्या अधीन आहे, हे या नावातून स्पष्ट होते.
अर्थ:
विस्तारलेल्या जगाला संकुचित करणारा.

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Samkshepta* means one who condenses, contracts, or withdraws. Vishnu as Samksheptaa is the cosmic power of dissolution — at the end of each cosmic cycle (*Pralaya*), He draws the entire universe back into Himself, condensing all of creation into the seed-state of the divine consciousness from which it will emerge again in the next cycle. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> Dissolution (*Pralaya*) is not destruction in the negative sense — it is the cosmic "sleep" where all of creation returns to its source for renewal. Vishnu as Samksheptaa represents the divine mercy in dissolution — all the accumulated karma, all the unresolved dramas of individual souls, all the complexity of cosmic existence is gathered back into the divine simplicity for a cosmic reset. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (12.4) describes the various types of *Pralaya* (dissolution) in detail — Naimittika (periodic dissolution at the end of Brahma's day), Prakritika (dissolution of prakriti at the end of Brahma's life), and Atyantika (individual liberation). In all forms of dissolution, Vishnu as Samksheptaa is the cosmic force gathering all back into divine unity.
