Vishnu Sahasra Naamam-Vol III-RR-edit.pub - Ibiblio

expression of bhagavAn's Sakti, most of us do not recognize any of that, and
we look at our own form and conclude and feel proud that we are in sole control
of that. All this is the result of bhagavAn's mAyA or leelA.
The common dictionaries do not give this later meaning for the term
"mUrti" (namely, mAyArUpA mohikA Saktih), but Prof. A. A. Ramanathan has
included this interpretation in his collection of amara koSa vyAkhyAna-s -
mUrchyata iti mUrtih.
e) SrI baladeva vidyA bhUshaN links his interpretation for the nAma "viSva
mUrtih" to the previous nAma a-parAjitah. His anubhavam is that bhagavAn is
a-parAjitah or Unconquerable because He resides in and controls all the bodies
of all the deva-s, gandharva-s, mAnava-s etc. - deva gandharva mAnavAdi sarva
SarIrah.

"guDAkeSa! See now the whole Universe with all the things moving and nonmoving,
in one corner of My body, and you may also see (in My body) anything
else you wish to see (because everything is part of My body)".
SrI rAdhAkRshNa SAstri refers us to gItA 11.13, which describes arjuna's
seeing the whole Universe in His body:
