This line describes the Lord’s might, eloquence, and generosity. subhujaḥ means He has auspicious, powerful arms — symbolizing the strength to protect devotees, uphold dharma, and bear the weight of the world. durdharaḥ indicates He is difficult to conquer or restrain — none can overcome His will. vāgmī refers to Him as supremely eloquent — the master of speech and expression. mahēndraḥ is the great ruler, greater even than Indra, king of the gods. vasudaḥ means He is the giver of wealth, and vasuḥ means He is wealth itself — the very essence of all that is valuable. This line praises His divine manifestations and radiant nature. naikarūpaḥ means He has many forms — appearing in countless shapes and manifestations to suit the needs of the devotees. bṛhadrūpaḥ signifies His vast, immense cosmic form that encompasses all. śipiviṣṭaḥ is a Vedic term referring to His presence as pure light or one pervading everything with brilliance. prakāśanaḥ means He is illumination itself — the revealer of all knowledge, the light behind all understanding.
