| अविकाराय शुद्धाय नित्याय परमात्मने। सदैकरूपरूपाय विष्णवे सर्वजिष्णवे॥ | |
| avikārāya śuddhāya nityāya paramātmane | sadaikarūparūpāya viṣṇave sarvajiṣṇave || | |
| Salutations to Lord Vishnu, who is the paramatma, changeless, pure, timeless, always of the same nature and victorious over every one. | |
We could interpret this dyana sloka itself as essence of all vedas. Each one of Isvara’s name needs to be understood properly and meditated upon.
Avikaraya – Vikaram is change. Brahman, the paramatma does not undergo any change or modification. An example would be the principle of light, which illuminates all objects without itself changing.
Suddhaya – Always pure; untainted by anything. Atma does not perform any actions. Neither it enjoys or suffers the results of actions.
Nityaya – Atma is beyond past, present and future.
Sadaika rupa rupaya – Always of the same nature.
Sarva Jishnave – Always victorious.
One may note that a proper understanding of any one of these names obviates the other names.
