English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Lokatrayashrayaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *loka* (world) + *traya* (three) + *aashraya* (refuge/support); "The Refuge and Support of All Three Worlds" - all three realms of existence - earth, the intermediate regions, and the heavens - rest upon Him as their ultimate shelter.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Loka-traya* = the three worlds (*Bhoo* = earth, *Bhuvar* = intermediate realm, *Svarga* = heaven) and *Aashraya* = refuge/shelter. Vishnu is the ultimate shelter of all three worlds — simultaneously. He does not merely protect one realm while neglecting others — all three realms and their inhabitants find their ultimate support and shelter in Vishnu. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Gayatri Mantra's three worlds (*Bhur-Bhuvas-Svah*) are all addressed to the divine light (*Savitri/Vishnu*) — confirming that Vishnu is the Lokatarayashraya. In the Buddhist tradition too (where Vishnu is sometimes incorporated as *Lokeshvara*), the three realms are under divine compassionate care. The universality of this shelter is the comfort of all beings in all worlds. **Puranic Reference<br> The Trivikrama episode of Vishnu — measuring all three worlds in three cosmic strides — is the mythological demonstration of Lokatarayashraya. By encompassing all three worlds within His cosmic form, Vishnu demonstrates that His shelter is truly universal — no being in any of the three worlds is beyond His protective reach.
