श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 679
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *stava* (praise, hymn); "He Who Is Worthy of All Praise" - the most fitting and proper object of all hymns, all songs, all prayers, and all acts of devotion throughout all of creation.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Describes Vishnu as the supreme object of all prayers, hymns, and praise. **Mythological Interpretation<br> All Vedic mantras, stotras, and hymns ultimately glorify Vishnu. He is the sole entity truly deserving of praise because He is the source, sustainer, and ultimate goal of all existence. The Vishnu Sahasranama itself is a great stava (hymn of praise). Countless sages, devotees, and even the gods continuously sing His glories. Prahlada's unwavering devotion was expressed through constant praise of Vishnu despite his father Hiranyakashipu's opposition. The practice of kirtan (devotional singing) and stotra recitation in bhakti traditions recognizes this quality - that the Lord is eternally worthy of praise and that such praise purifies and elevates the devotee.
विवेचन:
जो सर्वांनी स्तवन करण्याजोगा आहे, तो स्तव्यः. त्याचे गुण, लीला आणि करुणा यांचे वर्णन करूनही पूर्णत्व येत नाही. भक्तांच्या कीर्तनाचा आणि स्तोत्रांचा तोच मुख्य विषय आहे.
अर्थ:
“प्रशंसेस योग्य, स्तवनप्रिय”
