Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
वृषाही वृषभो विष्णुर्वृषपर्वा वृषोदरः। वर्धनो वर्धमानश्च विविक्तः श्रुतिसागरः॥२८॥
This line presents the Lord as the essence of dharma. vṛṣāhī means He is the controller or master of righteousness (dharma). vṛṣabhaḥ refers to Him as the bull — the symbol of dharma and strength. viṣṇuḥ proclaims Him as the all-pervading one, the sustainer of all. vṛṣaparvā signifies that dharma itself is the path to reach Him. vṛṣōdaraḥ means He bears dharma within — it is housed in His very being. This line reveals His ever-expanding and profound nature. vardhanaḥ means He is the nourisher — He causes all beings to grow and flourish. vardhamānaḥ indicates that He is ever-growing, infinitely expanding in glory and consciousness. viviktaḥ means He is untouched, detached, and beyond worldly entanglements. śrutisāgaraḥ declares Him to be the ocean of the Vedas — vast, deep, and the ultimate source of all scriptural wisdom.
