Simple Meaning:
From *a* (not) + *moorti* (form) + *maan* (possessor); "He Who Also Possesses a Formless Nature" - paradoxically, though He has the most magnificent form (*Vishvaroopa*), He is also beyond all form; both the formed and the formless are His authentic expressions.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *A-moorti* = formless and *maan* = possessing. This paradoxical name — appearing right after names of Vishnu's magnificent forms — declares that He is ultimately beyond all form (*nirguna, nirakara*). While He has infinite forms, His ultimate nature transcends all of them. He is *simultaneously* the one with the most magnificent form and the one who transcends all form. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Upanishadic resolution of this paradox is the concept of *Saguna* (with attributes) and *Nirguna* (without attributes) Brahman — both being the same reality. Vishnu as Amootirmaan is the Nirguna aspect — pure, formless, infinite consciousness that is the ultimate ground of all His magnificent forms. **Puranic Reference<br> The Vishnu Purana (1.2.11) explicitly states that Vishnu has no fixed form — He is beyond all forms — yet lovingly takes form for the sake of devotees. This tension between formless transcendence and gracious manifestation is the theological richness of Amoortirmaan appearing alongside names of His magnificent forms.

जो विशिष्ट स्थूल रूपात मर्यादित नाही, तो अमूर्तिमान्. रूप धारण करूनही तो रूपाच्या बंधनात अडकत नाही. अरूप, निर्गुण आणि सूक्ष्म परब्रह्मभाव या नावातून व्यक्त होतो.
