Simple Meaning:
From *sava* (the Soma sacrifice, an act of creation/vitality); "He Who Is the Soma Sacrifice and Vital Creative Act" - the primordial act of sacred creation is His own self-expression; every vital creative act in the cosmos is a reflection of His.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Identifies Vishnu with soma, the sacred ritual drink, and with the principle of generation. **Mythological Interpretation<br> "Sava" or "soma" refers to the sacred drink used in Vedic rituals, representing divine nectar, inspiration, and immortality. Vishnu as Savaḥ is the essence of this soma - the actual immortal nectar for which the ritual drink is a symbol. The physical soma juice was pressed from special plants during rituals; Vishnu is the spiritual essence that the ritual accesses. In the churning of the milk ocean, amṛta (immortal nectar) emerged - this amṛta is Savaḥ, and Vishnu as Dhanvantari distributed it. Beyond ritual context, Sava represents the life-giving essence, the vital force that animates existence. From "sū" (to give birth, generate), Savaḥ is the generative principle - that which produces, gives birth, brings forth. Every birth, every creative act flows from Savaḥ. The term also connects to "savitṛ" (the sun, stimulator), suggesting Vishnu as the energizing principle. Spiritually, Savaḥ is the divine intoxication of bhakti - the ecstatic experience that immortalizes consciousness. Drinking this soma (through devotion, meditation, scriptural wisdom) grants immortality. The Vedic injunction to "drink soma and become immortal" points to drinking Savaḥ - imbibing Vishnu's essence.
