Meaning:
Om Shripataye Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *Shree* + *pati* (lord/husband); "The Lord and Husband of Shree (Lakshmi)" - the divine consort of Lakshmi in the most intimate and eternal sense; together they are the cosmic couple whose love sustains all creation.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Shri* = Lakshmi and *pati* = lord/husband. Vishnu as Shripati is the eternal divine husband of Lakshmi — their relationship being the cosmic archetype of the perfect union between the Lord (*Ishvara*) and His divine power (*Shakti*). As the *Shripati*, Vishnu is also the lord of all that *Shri* represents — beauty, prosperity, auspiciousness, and divine grace. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> In Sri Vaishnava theology, the union of Vishnu (*Narayana*) and Lakshmi (*Shri*) is the supreme model of divine love — a love that is eternal, complete, and overflowing into the universe as cosmic grace. The devotee approaches this divine couple together — *Shri-Man-Narayana* — recognizing that Lakshmi mediates the devotee's approach to Vishnu, softening His divine majesty with Her maternal grace. **Puranic Reference<br> The Vishnu Purana describes the eternal relationship between Vishnu and Lakshmi in the most exquisite terms — She is inseparable from Him as *nitya* (eternal), *avikriya* (unchanging), and *sarva-vyaapi* (all-pervading) as He is. Their cosmic marriage is re-enacted in the *Vaikuntha-Ekadashi* and other celebrations as a reminder of the eternal divine union that is the foundation of all existence.
