Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Satta* is the Sanskrit word for pure being, existence, or reality. Vishnu as Satta is *Being itself* — not a being among beings but the very principle of existence that underlies and enables all beings to exist. Without *Satta* (Vishnu), nothing would exist — He is the ontological ground of all reality. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Vedanta's fundamental term *Sat* (from which *Satta* derives) is the first attribute of Brahman — *Sat-Chit-Ananda* (Being-Consciousness-Bliss). Vishnu as Satta is the *Sat* dimension — pure, unconditional existence that neither comes into being nor ceases to be. The famous Bhagavad Gita verse (2.16): *"Naasato vidyate bhaavo, naabhaavo vidyate satah"* — "The unreal has no existence; the real has no non-existence" — describes this Satta-nature of Vishnu. **Puranic Reference
The Vishnu Purana (1.2.1) opens with the declaration that Vishnu is *Sat* — pure existence — from which all other existence derives. The Bhagavata Purana's philosophical introduction (*Mangalacharana*) identifies the supreme reality with this quality of *Satta* — the self-luminous, self-existing being.
विवेचन:
जो नित्य अस्तित्वस्वरूप आहे, ती सत्ता तोच आहे. सर्व बदलत्या वस्तूंच्या मागे उभे असलेले शाश्वत असणे म्हणजे त्याचे स्वरूप. तो ‘आहे’पणाचा, चैतन्याचा आणि सत्याचा अखंड आधार आहे.
अर्थ:
अस्तित्व, सामर्थ्य
