शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *yajna* (great sacrifice); "He Who Is the Great Sacrifice Itself" - the universe itself is the great cosmic sacrifice; He is both the performer and the substance and the recipient of this eternal sacred act.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Another name emphasizing Vishnu as the essence of all sacrificial worship. **Mythological Interpretation<br> This name reinforces that all yajñas ultimately lead to and culminate in Vishnu. In ancient times, great sacrifices like the Ashvamedha (horse sacrifice) and Rajasuya were performed by kings and sages. All such sacrifices are considered partial manifestations of the Mahāyajña that is Vishnu Himself. The entire cosmic creation, preservation, and dissolution is one grand sacrifice. Human life itself is meant to be a yajña dedicated to the Divine. By recognizing Vishnu as Mahāyajña, devotees understand that all their actions, when offered to Him, become part of this supreme sacrifice.
