Simple Meaning:
Repeated from name 2 (and the central name of the entire sahasranama); "The All-Pervader" - appearing again near the end of this section, the supreme name returns to remind us that through all thousand names, this one truth never changes: He pervades everything.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Vishnu* comes from the root *Vish* — to pervade, to enter into. Vishnu is the one who completely pervades the entire cosmos — every atom of matter, every moment of time, every dimension of space contains Vishnu's divine presence. This is the root meaning of the very name *Vishnu* — the pervader — and it appears here within the body of the Sahasranama as a reminder of the foundational meaning. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Bhagavad Gita (10.42): *"I support this entire universe with just a portion (*ekaamshen*) of Myself."* The immensity of all creation is contained within a fraction of Vishnu's infinite being — and that fraction itself pervades all of creation completely. This is the paradox of *Vishnu* — the infinite pervading the finite without being limited by it. **Puranic Reference
The Vishnu Purana (1.1.15) derives the name: *"Because He pervades this universe, He is called Vishnu — from the root *Vish* (to pervade)."* All 999 other names in the Sahasranama are elaborations of this one fundamental quality — *Vishnu* is the summary name, the root name, the name that contains all other names within itself.
