Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
The repetition of *Vasuh* deepens its significance — Vishnu as the eternal dweller in all beings and the eternal abode of all beings is so fundamental a truth that it appears multiple times in the Sahasranama. The eight Vedic Vasus (deities presiding over the eight directions of cosmic existence) are all expressions of this one *Vasu* — Vishnu. **Spiritual Interpretation
The *Antaryami* (inner controller) doctrine of Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita is the philosophical expression of *Vasuh* — Vishnu dwells within every atom of creation as its inner self and controller. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad's (3.7) *Antaryami Brahmana* is the Upanishadic foundation of this teaching — listing 16 cosmic entities and identifying the inner controller of each as Brahman (Vishnu). **Puranic Reference
The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 343.11) states: *"All beings are Vasudeva; Vasudeva is all beings"* — confirming the identification of *Vasuh* with Vishnu as the universal substrate of all existence.
विवेचन:
जो सर्वांचा आश्रय, निवासस्थान आणि संपत्तीस्वरूप आहे, तो वसुः. प्रत्येक जीव त्याच्यातच स्थिर आहे आणि त्याच्याकडूनच पोषण पावतो. तोच जीवनाचा आधार आणि अंतर्यामी अधिष्ठाता आहे.
अर्थ:
जो स्वतःच धन स्वरूप आहे.
