Simple Meaning:

Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Amita* = unlimited/immeasurable and *vikrama* = valor/prowess/stride. Vishnu's heroic power is *Amita* — completely beyond all measurement or limit. The Trivikrama episode — where Vishnu measured the entire universe in three strides — is the most direct mythological expression of this unlimited valor. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Bhagavad Gita (11.41-42) has Arjuna apologizing for having treated Krishna casually as a friend — now seeing His unlimited divine power (*Amitavikrama*), Arjuna is overwhelmed. The realization that the intimate friend is also the omnipotent cosmic sovereign is the transformative experience that *Amitavikrama* represents. **Puranic Reference
The Vamana Purana describes the Trivikrama episode as the supreme expression of *Amitavikrama* — Vamana, appearing as a tiny dwarf, requested only three steps of land from the generous king Mahabali. When Mahabali agreed, Vamana's *Amitavikrama* was unleashed — His cosmic form expanded until three steps encompassed all of creation, leaving Mahabali humbled and liberated simultaneously.
