श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 672

Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *karma* (action, deed); "He of Great and Mighty Actions" - His acts are cosmic in scale; every deed He performs reverberates through all the worlds across all time.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Mahaa* = great and *karma* = action/deed. Vishnu as Mahaakarmaa performs the greatest actions in the cosmos — the creation of universes, the sustaining of all life, the liberation of souls, the defeat of cosmic evil. These are not ordinary actions but *Mahaa-karma* — cosmic deeds of infinite scope and consequence. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (4.14) states: *"Actions do not contaminate Me; I have no desire for their fruits — one who knows Me thus is not bound by actions."* Vishnu's Mahaakarma are thus *nishkama* (desireless) actions of infinite scope — performed without ego, without desire, and without karmic consequence. This is the supreme model for human beings practicing *Karma Yoga*. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana presents each avatar's actions as Mahaakarma — the Varaha's lifting of the earth, the Narasimha's destruction of Hiranyakashipu, Rama's construction of the bridge and defeat of Lanka, Krishna's management of the Kurukshetra war and simultaneous liberation of countless souls — each a deed of cosmic magnitude.
