श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 680
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *stava* + *priya* (beloved, one who loves); "He Who Is Especially Dear to Those Who Sing His Praise, and Who Loves Praise" - He takes especial delight in the sincere praise and devotional singing of His devotees; *stotra* (hymns of praise) are the language of His heart.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Indicates that Vishnu delights in the devotional praises of His devotees. **Mythological Interpretation<br> While the Lord is self-sufficient and needs nothing, He is deeply pleased by the sincere devotion and praise of His bhaktas (devotees). This reveals the loving, personal aspect of the Divine - not a distant, impersonal force, but a loving Lord who reciprocates the affection of His devotees. When Prahlada praised Him constantly, Vishnu manifested as Narasimha to protect him. When the Pandavas glorified Krishna, He became their charioteer and guide. The Lord's pleasure in receiving praise is not ego-based but reflects His desire to encourage devotion, which ultimately liberates the soul. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says that He quickly delivers those who worship Him with devotion. The Lord's responsiveness to stava shows that bhakti (devotion) is the direct path to His grace. These names collectively reveal Vishnu's role in cosmic sacrifice, His supreme radiance, His lordship over all beings including serpents, and His loving relationship with devotees who praise Him.
