Meaning:
Om Vishodhanaya Namah।
Simple Meaning:

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Vishodhana* = one who purifies completely. Vishnu as Vishodhana is the cosmic purifier — His presence, His name, His stories, and His grace all act as the supreme purifying force. Unlike ritual purification which removes external impurities, Vishnu's *Vishodhana* reaches the innermost levels of consciousness, purifying even the subtlest *Vasanas* (impressions) and *Samskaras* (karmic tendencies). **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavata Purana (6.2.7-14) narrates the story of Ajamila — who lived a sinful life but at the moment of death called out *"Narayana"* (the name of Vishnu) for his son, and was immediately liberated. This is Vishnu as Vishodhana — even the unconscious utterance of His name purifies completely, overriding a lifetime of sinful accumulation. **Puranic Reference<br> The Ganga (sacred river Ganges) is considered the supreme purifier in Hindu tradition — and she flows from Vishnu's feet (*Vishnu-pada*). This mythological connection makes Vishnu the ultimate source of all purification — Ganga is His *Vishodhana* power in liquid, flowing form, purifying all who immerse themselves in her sacred waters.
