Simple Meaning:
From *darpa* + *da* (giver); "He Who Bestows Divine Confidence and Righteous Pride" - while He destroys unrighteous arrogance, He grants to the virtuous a holy confidence and spiritual pride (*sattvik darpa*) rooted in divine knowledge.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Darpa* = pride and *da* = giver. This name is the complement of Darpaha (destroyer of pride) — Vishnu also *gives* a divine form of pride. While He destroys the ego-pride of the arrogant, He bestows upon His devotees a righteous sense of divine dignity — the *tejas* (divine splendor) of the Godward soul. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> This paradox — Vishnu both destroys pride and gives it — is resolved by understanding that He destroys *false* pride (ego-based arrogance) and gives *true* pride (the divine dignity of one who knows their relationship with the Supreme). The devotee, knowing they are beloved of Vishnu, carries a righteous confidence — *Brahma-tejas* — that cannot be touched by worldly humiliations. **Puranic Reference<br> The Bhagavata Purana narrates how Prahlada, despite being born in a demonic family and tortured by his own father, carried an unshakeable divine dignity — the Darpa given to him by Vishnu. No amount of worldly humiliation could touch his inner *tejas*. This is the Darpa that Vishnu gives to His devotees — indestructible divine dignity.
विवेचन:
जो सज्जनांमध्ये उचित आत्मविश्वास आणि गौरव जागवतो, तो दर्पदः. धर्मासाठी उभे राहण्याचे सामर्थ्य, स्वाभिमान आणि धैर्य तो प्रदान करतो. दुष्टांचा दर्प हरवून सज्जनांना तेज देणारा तोच आहे.
अर्थ:
गर्व नाश करणारा
