Etymology

edit

According to the traditional explanation a derivation from the root विष् (√viṣ, to pervade), thus originally meaning "All-pervader" or "Worker"; related to विवेष्टि (viveṣṭi, to work), both from Proto-Indo-European *weys- (to produce). Alternatively, a substrate borrowing.

विष्णु (víṣṇu) stemm

  1. Vishnu
    • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 1.154.2:
      प्र तद्विष्णुः॑ स्तवते वी॒र्ये॑ण मृ॒गो न भी॒मः कु॑च॒रो गि॑रि॒ष्ठाः ।
      यस्यो॒रुषु॑ त्रि॒षु वि॒क्रम॑णेष्वधिक्षि॒यन्ति॒ भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॑ ॥
      prá tádvíṣṇuḥ stavate vīryèṇa mṛgó ná bhīmáḥ kucaró giriṣṭhā́ḥ.
      yásyorúṣu triṣú vikrámaṇeṣvadhikṣiyánti bhúvanāni víśvā.
      Viṣṇu is therefore glorified, that by his prowess he is like a fearful, ravenous, and mountain-haunting wild beast, and because of that in his three paces all worlds abide.
