427. Sthaavarah-sthaanuh – " The firm and the motionless. " The Firm

(achanchala) indicates that He has no movements, because He is All-

pervading. Sthaanuh (motionless) means that He is fixed like " the

pillars that denote the frontiers of a country " (Sthaanuh) .The terms

here used are as one- word because the Lord is both these at one and

the same time. He is not only All-pervading, and, therefore, no

movements in Him (Sthaavarah), but he is also without any locomotion

(Sthaanuh). Both these terms indicate the All-pervasiveness of Lord

Vishnu.
