विष्णुर्विक्रमणादेव जयनाज्जिष्णुरुच्यते । शाश्वतत्वादनन्तश्च गोविन्दो वेदनाद्गवाम्॥५-६८-१३॥
He is called Viṣṇu because of his all-pervading stride (vikrama). Because of victory, he is called Jiṣṇu. Because of eternality, he is Ananta. And because of his knowing and caring for the “cows” (gavām)—understood as beings or the Vedic herds—he is Govinda.
