12 definitions

One of the principal Hindu deities, regarded as the preserver in the triad with Brahma and Shiva

(H1) [Printed book page 999,1]
विष् (viṣ)णु (viṣṇu) m. (prob. fr. √विष् (viṣ), ‘All-pervader’ or ‘Worker’) N. of one of the principal Hindū deities (in the later mythology regarded as ‘the preserver’, and with Brahmā ‘the creator’ and Śiva ‘the destroyer’, constituting the well-known Tri-mūrti or triad; although Viṣṇu comes second in the triad he is identified with the supreme deity by his worshippers; in the Vedic period, however, he is not placed in the foremost rank, although he is frequently invoked with other gods [esp. with Indra whom he assists in killing Vṛtra and with whom he drinks the Soma juice; cf. his later names Indrānuja and Upendra]; as distinguished from the other Vedic deities, he is a personification of the light and of the sun, esp. in his striding over the heavens, which he is said to do in three paces [see त्रि-विक्रम (tri-vikrama) and cf. बलि (bali), वामन (vāmana)], explained as denoting the threefold manifestations of light in the form of fire, lightning, and the sun, or as designating the three daily stations of the sun in his rising, culminating, and setting ; Viṣṇu does not appear to have been included at first among the Ādityas [q.v.], although in later times he is accorded the foremost place among them; in the Brāhmaṇas he is identified with sacrifice, and in one described as a dwarf; in the Mahā-bhārata and Rāmāyaṇa he rises to the supremacy which in some places he now enjoys as the most popular deity of modern Hindū worship; the great rivalry between him and Śiva [cf. वैष्णव (vaiṣṇava) and शैव (śaiva)] is not fully developed till the period of the Purāṇas: the distinguishing feature in the character of the Post-vedic Viṣṇu is his condescending to become incarnate in a portion of his essence on ten principal occasions, to deliver mankind from certain great dangers [cf. अवतार (avatāra) and Indian Wisdom, by Sir M. Monier-Williams (Title) 327 ]; some of the Purāṇas make 22 incarnations, or even 24, instead of 10; the Vaiṣṇavas regard Viṣṇu as the supreme being, and often identify him with Nārāyaṇa, the personified Puruṣa or primeval living spirit [described as moving on the waters, reclining on Śeṣa, the serpent of infinity, while the god Brahmā emerges from a lotus growing from his navel; cf. Manusmṛti [Cologne Addition] (Title) i, 10 ]; the wives of Viṣṇu are Aditi and Sinīvālī, later Lakṣmī or Śrī and even Sarasvatī; his son is Kāma-deva, god of love, and his paradise is called Vaikuṇṭha; he is usually represented with a peculiar mark on his breast called Śrī-vatsa, and as holding a शङ्ख (śaṅkha), or conch-shell called Pāñcajanya, a चक्र (cakra) or quoit-like missile-weapon called Su-darśana, a गदा (gadā) or club called Kaumodakī and a पद्म (padma) or lotus; he has also a bow called Śārṅga, and a sword called Nandaka; his वाहन (vāhana) or vehicle is Garuḍa q.v.; he has a jewel on his wrist called Syamantaka, another on his breast called Kaustubha, and the river Ganges is said to issue from his foot; the demons slain by him in his character of ‘preserver from evil’, or by Kṛṣṇa as identified with him, are Madhu, Dhenuka, Cāṇūra, Yamala, and Arjuna [see यमला (yamalā)र्जुन (rjuna)], Kāla-nemi, Haya-grīva, Śakaṭa, Ariṣṭa, Kaiṭabha, Kaṃsa, Keśin, Mura, Śālva, Mainda, Dvi-vida, Rāhu, Hiraṇya-kaśipu, Bāṇa, Kāliya, Naraka, Bali; he is worshipped under a thousand names, which are all enumerated in Mahābhārata (Title) xiii, 6950-7056; he is sometimes regarded as the divinity of the lunar mansion called Śravaṇa), RV. &c. &c. (cf. Religious Thought and Life in India, also called ’Brāhmanism and Hindūism,’ by Sir M. Monier-Williams (Title) 44 ; Indian Wisdom, by Sir M. Monier-Williams (Title) 324 ) [ID=202398]

विष्णु (viṣṇu) [Printed book page 0949-a]
विष्णु (viṣṇu) viṣṇu, us, us, u (in Uṇādi-s. III.

39. said to be fr. rt. 2. viṣ, ‘to pervade;’ according

to some fr. rt. 1. viś), all-pervading, encompassing,

pervading, penetrating (Ved); (us), m., N. of one

of the principal Hindū deities, (in the later mythology

regarded as ‘the preserver,’ and with Brahmā ‘the

creator’ and Śiva ‘the destroyer,’ constituting the

well-known Tri-mūrti or triad; although Viṣṇu

comes second in the triad he is identified with the

supreme deity by his worshippers; in the Vedic

period, however, he is not placed in the foremost

rank, and though frequently invoked with Indra,

Varuṇa, the Maruts, Rudra, Vāyu, and the Ādityas,

his superiority to these is never stated, and he is even

described in one place as celebrating the praises of

Indra and deriving his power from that god [cf.

his later name Indrānuja, ‘younger brother of

Indra’], the point which distinguishes him from the

other Vedic deities being chiefly his striding over the

heavens, which he is said to do in three paces [see

tri-vikrama], explained as denoting the threefold

manifestations of light in the form of fire, lightning,

and the sun, or as designating the three daily stations

of the sun in his rising, culminating, and setting;

the later legend of the Vāmana Ava-tāra grew out

of this Vedic conception [see bali]; he does not

appear to have been included at first among the

Ādityas or sons of Aditi, whose number in the Vedic

period varies from six to eight, though in later times,

when their number was raised to twelve, represent-

ing the sun in the twelve months of the year, Viṣṇu

is accorded the foremost place among them; in the

Brāhmaṇas he is identified with sacrifice, and in one

described as a dwarf; in the Mahā-bhārata and Rāmā-

yaṇa he is not connected with the sun, but gradually

rises to the supremacy which he now enjoys as the most

popular deity of modern Hindū worship, and although

in some passages of the former he is represented as

paying homage to Śiva [cf. his name Śiva-kīrtana],

the great rivalry between these gods and their wor-

shippers — who are respectively called Vaiṣṇavas and

Śaivas, and who each exalt their favourite to the first

place in the Hindū Pantheon — is not fully developed

till the period of the Purāṇas: the distinguishing

feature in the character of the Post-vedic Viṣṇu is

his condescending to become incarnate in a portion

of his essence on ten principal occasions, to set right

particular disturbances or deliver mankind from certain

great dangers; his ten principal incarnations or Ava-

tāras are, 1. the Matsya or ‘fish;’ 2. the Kūrma or

‘tortoise;’ 3. the Varāha or ‘boar;’ 4. the Nara-
Page0949-b+ 81

siṃha or ‘man-lion;’ 5. the Vāmana or ‘dwarf’ [see

bali]; 6. Paraśu-rāma or ‘Rāma with the axe,’

i. e. Rāma, son of Jamad-agni; 7. Rāma-candra or

‘the illustrious Rāma,’ i. e. Rāma, the son of Daśa-

ratha and hero of the Rāmāyaṇa; 8. Kṛṣṇa or

‘the dark One,’ who is held by the Vaiṣṇavas to be

not so much an incarnation of Viṣṇu as the very

essence of Viṣṇu or rather Viṣṇu himself, so that

the Bala-rāma incarnation, which is sometimes mixed

up with this eighth Ava-tāra, is also occasionally

substituted for it; 9. Buddha or ‘the enlightened

One,’ by adopting whom the Brāhmans appear to

have desired to effect a compromise between their

own creed and Buddhism; 10. Kalki, which is

yet to come; see these various incarnations s. v.;

some of the Purāṇas multiply these Ava-tāras to the

number of twenty-two or even twenty-four; as the

supreme being Viṣṇu is often identified with Nārā-

yaṇa, the personified Puruṣa or primeval living spirit

[described as moving on the waters, reclining on

Śeṣa, the serpent of infinity, while the god Brahmā

emerges from a lotus growing from his navel; cf.

Manu I. 10]; the wife of Viṣṇu is Lakṣmī or

Śrī, and his paradise is called Vaikuṇṭha; he is

usually represented with a peculiar mark on his breast

called Śrī-vatsa, and as holding a śaṅkha or conch-

shell called Pāñcajanya, a cakra or quoit-like missile-

weapon called Su-darśana, a gadā or club called Kau-

modakī, and a padma or lotus; he has also a bow

called Śārṅga, and a sword called Nandaka; his vāhana

or vehicle is Garuḍa, q. v.; he has a jewel on his

wrist called Syamantaka, another on his breast called

Kaustubha, and the river Ganges is said to issue from

his foot; the demons slain by him in his character of

‘preserver from evil,’ or by Kṛṣṇa as identified

with him, are Madhu, Dhenuka, Cāṇūra, Yamala,

and Arjuna [see yamalārjuna], Kālanemi, Haya-

grīva, Śakaṭa, Ariṣṭa, Kaiṭabha, Kaṃsa, Keśin,

Mura, Sālva, Mainda, Dvi-vida, Rāhu, Hiraṇya-

kaśipu, Vāṇa, Kāliya, Naraka, Bali; he is wor-

shipped under a thousand names, which are all

enumerated in the Anuśāsana-parvan of the Mahā-

bhārata, II. 6950-7056; for his epithet, ‘younger

brother of Indra,’ see bali; he is sometimes regarded

as the divinity of the lunar mansion called Śravaṇa;
