श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 678
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *mahaa* + *havis* (the sacred oblation); "He Who Is the Supreme Sacred Oblation" - the greatest offering in any sacrifice is ultimately He Himself; all that is offered in any ritual is a portion of His own infinite being offered back to Himself.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Represents Vishnu as the ultimate offering in sacrificial rituals. **Mythological Interpretation<br> Havis refers to the ghee, grains, and other materials offered into the sacred fire during Vedic rituals. Vishnu as Mahāhaviḥ means He is the supreme offering - the ultimate substance that is offered and the one who receives all offerings. This has a deeper philosophical meaning: the individual soul (jivatma) offering itself back to the Supreme Soul (Paramatma) is the greatest havis. The Lord also offered Himself through His incarnations - particularly in the Buddha avatar which emphasized non-violence, and in the Rama and Krishna avatars where He underwent trials for dharma. His very presence in the material world is an offering of divine grace.
विवेचन:
जो महान हवि, म्हणजे अर्पणस्वरूप आहे, तो महाहविः. यज्ञात अर्पण केले जाणारे पवित्र द्रव्य आणि त्याचा स्वीकारकर्ता दोन्ही तोच आहे. समर्पण, पावित्र्य आणि ईश्वरप्राप्तीचा मार्ग या नावात सामावलेला आहे.
अर्थ:
“सिंपादन करण्याजोगा, प्रशंसायोग्य”
