श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 675
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *kratu* (great sacrificial rite, great will/intelligence); "He of the Great Sacrificial Rite and Supreme Intelligence" - He is the great cosmic sacrifice and the supreme intelligence that ordains it; all yajna culminates in Him.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Identifies Vishnu as the embodiment of all Vedic sacrifices and the ultimate yajña. **Mythological Interpretation<br> In Vedic tradition, kratu refers to both sacrifice and will/intention. Vishnu is the personification of all sacrificial rituals - He is simultaneously the one who performs the sacrifice, the sacrifice itself, and the one who receives it. The Bhagavad Gita states: "I am the ritual, I am the sacrifice." The supreme sacrifice is the Lord's own descent into material existence as avatars to restore dharma. His incarnations themselves are supreme acts of self-offering for the welfare of all beings. The entire cosmic process is viewed as a divine yajña with Vishnu as its essence.

अर्थ:
“महान यज्ञकर्ता”
