अधो न क्षीयते जातु यस्मात्तस्मादधोक्षजः । नराणामयनाच्चापि तेन नारायणः स्मृतः । पूरणात्सदनाच्चैव ततोऽसौ पुरुषोत्तमः॥५-६८-१०॥
Because he never diminishes ‘downward’ (adhas), he is therefore called Adhokṣaja. And because he is the refuge and goal (ayana) of human beings (narāḥ), he is remembered as Nārāyaṇa. Further, because he fills and fulfills (pūraṇa) and because he is the abiding seat (sadana), he is thus Puruṣottama, the Supreme Person.
