Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
चतुर्मूर्तिश्चतुर्बाहुश्चतुर्व्यूहश्चतुर्गतिः। चतुरात्मा चतुर्भावश्चतुर्वेदविदेकपात्॥८२॥
He is chaturmūrtiḥ – manifesting in four divine forms (like Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha); chaturbāhuḥ – possessing four arms, symbolic of His all-pervading power and omnidirectional protection; chaturvyūhaḥ – the one who projects Himself into fourfold aspects for cosmic functions; and chaturgatiḥ – the goal of all four paths of liberation (karma, jnana, bhakti, and yoga). He is chaturātmā – present in the four states of consciousness (waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and turiya); chaturbhāvaḥ – the cause and essence of the fourfold creation; chaturvēdavit – the knower and revealer of all four Vedas; and ēkapāt – though manifesting in many ways, He remains the One undivided Reality, the single footstep upon which the entire universe rests.
