Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
स्कन्दः स्कन्दधरो धुर्यो वरदो वायुवाहनः। वासुदेवो बृहद्भानुरादिदेवः पुरन्दरः॥३६॥
He is śkandaḥ – the leader of divine forces and the essence of strength; śkandadharaḥ – the one who bears that strength and upholds divine power; dhuryaḥ – the bearer of responsibilities in the cosmic order; varadaḥ – the gracious giver of boons; and vāyuvāhanaḥ – He who moves with the swiftness of the wind and rides the power of air as His vehicle. He is Vāsudēvaḥ – the indwelling Lord of all beings, born as the son of Vasudeva; bṛhadbhānuḥ – of vast and radiant light; ādidēvaḥ – the primordial and first among the gods; and purandharaḥ – the destroyer of cities, symbolizing the conqueror of ego and ignorance in the spiritual journey.
