Viṣṇu : ウィキペディア英語版
Vishnu


Vishnu ((:vɪʂɳu); Sanskrit: विष्णु, ') is a central god and one of the three deities of the trimurti in Hinduism. He is the Supreme god Svayam Bhagavan of Vaishnavism (one of the principal denominations of Hinduism).〔 He is also known as Narayana and Hari. As one of the five primary forms of God in the Smarta tradition,〔 he is conceived as "the Preserver or the Protector"〔
In Hindu sacred texts, Vishnu is usually described as having dark complexion of water-filled clouds and having four arms. He is depicted as a pale blue being, as are his incarnations Rama and Krishna. He holds a padma (lotus flower) in his lower left hand, the Kaumodaki gada (mace) in his lower right hand, the Panchajanya shankha (conch) in his upper left hand and the discus weapon considered to be the most powerful weapon according to Hindu Religion Sudarshana Chakra in his upper right hand.
== Etymology ==

The traditional explanation of the name ''Vishnu'' involves the root '','' meaning "to settle" (cognate with Latin ''vicus,'' English ''-wich'' "village," Slavic: vas ''-ves''), or also (in the Rigveda) "to enter into, to pervade," glossing the name as "the All-Pervading One".〔"Collected writings – Volume 12", by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Boris De Zirkoff, p. 149〕
Yaska, an early commentator on the Vedas, in his Nirukta, (etymological interpretation), defines Vishnu as ''viṣṇur viṣvater vā vyaśnoter vā'', "one who enters everywhere". He also writes, ''atha yad viṣito bhavati tad viṣnurbhavati'', "that which is free from fetters and bondages is Vishnu".
Adi Shankara in his commentary on the ''Sahasranama'' states derivation from '','' with a meaning "presence everywhere" ("As he pervades everything, ''vevesti'', he is called ''Vishnu''"). Adi Shankara states (regarding Vishnu Purana, 3.1.45): "The Power of the Supreme Being has entered within the universe. The root ' means 'enter into'." Swami Chinmayananda, in his translation of Vishnu Sahasranama further elaborates on that verse: "The root vis means to enter. The entire world of things and beings is pervaded by Him and the Upanishad emphatically insists in its mantra 'whatever that is there is the world of change.' Hence, it means that He is not limited by space, time or substance. Chinmayananda states that, that which pervades everything is Vishnu."〔Swami Chinmayananda's translation of Vishnu sahasranama pgs. 16–17, Central Chinmaya Mission Trust.〕
