मराठी अर्थ
शब्द:
ॐ भूशयाय नमः।
विवेचन:
जो भूमीवर किंवा सागरतीरावर शयन करणारा म्हणून प्रकटतो, तो भूशयः. राघवरूपातील शयन, विश्रांती आणि कर्तव्याच्या मधील शांततेची आठवण हे नाव करून देते. भूवर वसूनही त्याचे स्वरूप सर्वव्यापी आणि दिव्यच राहते.
अर्थ:
भूमीवर शयन करणारा.
English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Bhushayaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *bhoo* (earth) + *shaya* (one who reclines, who dwells); "He Who Reclines on the Earth" or "He Who Dwells Within the Earth" - He is as present in the earth beneath our feet as He is in the highest heavens; the ground itself is His reclining form.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Bhoo* = earth/waters and *shaya* = one who lies/rests. This name is related to *Kuvaleshayah* (591) — Vishnu resting on the cosmic waters during *Pralaya*. As Bhooshaya, Vishnu specifically reclines in the earth-waters — the cosmic state of formless rest from which all creation will emerge. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The image of Vishnu reclining (*Anantashayana*) is one of the most profound symbols in Hindu spirituality — the infinite divine at perfect rest, yet simultaneously containing all of creation in potential. The *Anantashayana* form worshiped at Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) — *Padmanabhaswamy* — is considered one of the supreme expressions of this divine repose. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (2.9.1-10) describes how at the beginning of creation, Brahma arose from the lotus growing from the navel of the *Bhooshaya* Vishnu — the divine one resting in the cosmic waters. This is the creation myth's supreme image — the absolute at rest, yet spontaneously generating the creator from its own navel-lotus.
