Simple Meaning:
From *stu* (to praise); "He Who Is the Act of Praising" - the very impulse to praise the divine, the inner welling up of devotional feeling that leads to all *stuti* (praise), is itself His self-expression.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Meaning<br> "He who is the very embodiment of praise" — not merely one who is praised, but one who IS praise itself. **Philosophical nuance<br> This is an extraordinary name. Most names of the Lord describe His attributes; Stutiḥ identifies Him with the act of glorification itself. All authentic praise — whether the Vedic hymns, the Purāṇic stotras, the devotee's heartfelt kīrtana — is, in its deepest nature, the Lord Himself manifesting as recognition of His own glory. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (1.5.22) says: *"Tat-kathā-śravaṇādīni..."* — hearing, narrating, and glorifying the Lord are all forms of the Lord. **Nāmaparadhā doctrine<br> In the Vaiṣṇava tradition, the act of reciting the divine names (nāma-saṅkīrtana) is not separate from the Lord. The Padma Purāṇa states that the name of the Lord (nāma) and the Lord Himself (nāmī) are non-different: *"Nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ"* — the name of Kṛṣṇa is a wish-fulfilling gem, identical in nature with the Lord. Stutiḥ thus affirms that the Sahasranāma being recited is not merely about the Lord — it IS the Lord.
विवेचन:
जो स्तुतीस्वरूप आहे, तो स्तुतिः. प्रशंसा, कीर्तन, नामस्मरण आणि गौरवगान यांचे मूळ तत्त्व तोच आहे. भक्ताच्या अंतःकरणातून उमटणारा मंगल उद्गार म्हणजे त्याची स्तुती.
अर्थ:
“जो स्तवन करतो”
