61) Vibhave SrI VenkatEsaaya
nama:nama:
The Lord is "Vibhu" and
pervades everything everywhere. There is absolutely no place which doesn't
have His presence. He is here, there, everywhere, as Sri Prahlada told his
cynical father. "karandu engum parandulan" marvels Shri Nammazhwar
at the Lord's total pervasiness.
The Narayana anuvaakam tells us
that the Sriman Narayana the Lord is so pervasive as to be present inside and
out of all beings and objects--"yaccha kinchit jagat sarvam drisyate
shrooyate pi vaa, antar bahischa tat sarvam vyaapya Narayana: stittha:".
Whatever is heard, whatever is
seen or felt in this wide universe is pervaded by Emperuman.
This is borne out by several other
pramaanams too, from the Upanishads and Puraanas:
"Nityam, Vibhum, sarvagatam
susookshmam"
"Nityaa eva eshaa Jaganmaataa
Vishno: Shree: anapaayinee
yathaa sarvagato Vishnu:
tattaiveyam dvijottama!"--Sri Vishnu Puraanam.
This is to contrast the Lord, who
is the Paramaatma, from the Jeevatma or the individual soul, who is
infinetisimal in form--"Esho anu: Atmaa".
It is of interest to note that the
Vishnu Purana confirms the same trait of Vibhutvam on Sri Lakshmi too--"yathaa
Sarvagato Vishnu: tatthaa evam dvijottama!" (Just as Sri Vishnu pervades
everything, so does His Consort)
"tvayaa cha etat Vishnunaa
cha Amba! jagat vyaaptam charaacharam" ("Oh Divine Mother! This
entire Universe is pervaded by Yourself and Shri Mahavishnu".
