English Meaning
Meaning:
Om Atmavate Namah।
Simple Meaning:
From *atma* (self/soul) + *vaan* (possessor); "He Who Is the Master of His Own Self" or "He Who Is the Soul of All Souls" — perfectly self-possessed, the sovereign of all individual selves
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Significance<br> ‘Ātmavān’ describes one who "has the Self" — meaning one who is fully self-possessed, not dependent on external circumstances for their sense of completeness or identity. Applied to Viṣṇu, it means His nature is absolute Self-sufficiency. He requires nothing outside Himself — not creation, not devotion, not worship — to be complete. These He receives with grace, but His completeness precedes and exceeds them all. The Gītā (3.17–18): ‘"Yas tv ātmaratir eva syād ātma-tṛptaś ca mānavaḥ / ātmany eva ca santuṣṭas tasya kāryaṃ na vidyate"‘ — One who is satisfied in the Self alone has no obligatory duty. Viṣṇu as Ātmavān is the eternal exemplar of this Self-satisfaction.
