श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 671
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *krama* (stride, step, procedure, cosmic order); "He of the Great Cosmic Stride and Order" - His steps span the universe; His cosmic procedure unfolds with absolute order and precision across all of time.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Mahaa* = great and *krama* = step/stride/progression. This name directly evokes the *Trivikrama* episode — Vishnu's cosmic strides that encompassed all three worlds. But in the broader sense, Vishnu's *krama* (progression/movement) is always *mahaa* (great) — every step He takes is a cosmic event. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> *Krama* also means "method" or "orderly progression." Vishnu as Mahaakrama is the one whose cosmic methodology — the *krama* of creation, preservation, and dissolution — is supremely great, perfectly ordered, and unfailingly effective. The entire evolutionary progression of the cosmos and of individual souls is this *Mahaa-krama*. **Puranic Reference<br> The Vamana Purana (chapter 26-31) narrates in exquisite detail how Vamana's first step covered the earth, His second step covered the heavens, and His third step — finding no more physical space — was placed on Mahabali's head, sending him to the nether world. This Trivikrama striding is the supreme mythological expression of Mahaakrama.
