English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Shrimatam Varaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *Shreernataam* (of those who possess Shree, the blessed ones) + *vara* (the best, the chosen one); "The Best and Most Exalted Among All Those Who Are Blessed" - the highest of all the glorious, the supreme jewel among all noble beings.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Shreemataam* = among those possessing *Shri* and (implied) *vara* = the best/supreme. Vishnu is the supreme among all glorious, *Shri*-endowed beings — not merely one glorious being among others but the one whose *Shri* is infinitely greater than that of all others combined. **Spiritual Interpretation
The *Shrivatsa* on Vishnu's chest means Lakshmi (*Shri*) permanently resides in Him — making Him the ultimate Shrematam. All other beings who possess partial divine grace (*Shri*) — kings, sages, great devotees — are merely temporary, partial holders of what Vishnu holds completely and eternally. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana narrates that Lakshmi (*Shri*) left Indra (when his arrogance caused Durvasa's curse) and the entire cosmos fell into darkness, poverty, and misery — demonstrating that *Shri* is not permanently attached to any being except Vishnu. When Vishnu asked Lakshmi to return to Indra (after the churning of the ocean), she agreed only conditionally — her ultimate and permanent residence remains on Vishnu's chest alone.
