श्लोक - नाम क्रमांक: 703
शब्द:
Simple Meaning:
From *sat* (the good, the real) + *paraayana* (supreme refuge, ultimate goal); "The Supreme Refuge of All That Is Good and Real" - the final resting place of all righteous beings and all genuine seekers; the ultimate destination of the truly real.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Sat* = good/real and *paraayana* = ultimate refuge/goal/highest end. Vishnu is the *Sat-Parayana* — the supreme destination to which all genuine virtue, all authentic spirituality, and all true goodness ultimately leads. He is not merely a waystation on the spiritual journey — He is the final destination itself. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita's final teaching (18.66) — *"Maamekam sharanam vraja"* (Come to Me alone for refuge) — is Vishnu declaring Himself as Sat-Parayana. All the various spiritual paths — *Karma Yoga*, *Jnana Yoga*, *Bhakti Yoga* — all ultimately converge in this supreme refuge. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana (11.2.45) includes the famous verse: *"Smartavyah satatam Vishnur..."* — Vishnu is always to be remembered as the Satparayana, the supreme refuge and goal. The story of Prahlada's life is the perfect narrative of this name — every trial led him back to Vishnu as his only true refuge and destination.
