श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 669
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *brahma* + *jna* (knower); "The Knower of All Brahmic and Vedic Knowledge" - His knowledge of the Vedas, the Brahmasutras, and all sacred learning is absolute and perfect; He knows it all because He authored it all.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Brahma-jna* means the knower of Brahman through direct experience (*aparoksha anubhuti*), not merely theoretical knowledge. This is distinct from *Brahmavid* (name 667) in that *Jna* specifically refers to the discriminative wisdom (*viveka-jnana*) that directly perceives the Absolute. Vishnu possesses this wisdom eternally and in its most perfect form. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Mundaka Upanishad distinguishes between *Para Vidya* (higher knowledge — direct knowledge of Brahman) and *Apara Vidya* (lower knowledge — all worldly and even Vedic knowledge). Vishnu as Brahmajno is the supreme possessor of *Para Vidya* — not because He studied it, but because He IS it, eternally self-luminous in the knowledge of His own nature. **Puranic Reference
The Bhagavata Purana (2.4.22) describes how Suka, son of Vyasa, realized Brahman directly through meditation on Vishnu — becoming a Brahmajno of the highest order. His recitation of the Bhagavatam to Parikshit flows from this direct knowledge of Vishnu-Brahman. The Bhagavata Purana itself, in a sense, is Vishnu's own Brahmajnana expressed through the medium of sacred narrative.
