154 VISHNU SAHASRANAMA
961. The sustainer of Prāna (Prānabhrit).
By means of food.
Vya. He maintains His devotees as He does His life.
962. The life of Beings (Prāṇajīvanah).
Because He makes the beings to live by means of
Prāna or vital airs. The Śruti (Kath. Up., 5-5) says : "No
mortal whatsoever lives by Prāna, nor by Apāna ; they live
by another on which both are founded."
963. The reality (Tattvam).
"The words 'Tattva,' 'Amrita,' 'Satya,' and 'Para-
mārthasatātva' are synonyms and mean the same Brahman,
which is the real Truth.
964. The knower of the Truth (Tattvavit).
As it is.
Vya. He is the remaining principle of all tatvas.
965. The one Ātman (Ekātmā).
The Śruti (Chchā. Up., 1-1) says : "This indeed was
one Ātman." The Smriti says : "That which pervades,
that which receives, that which enjoys the objects, and
that which exists always, is called Atman."
Vya. His mind is exclusively in the knowers of
reality.
966. He that transcends birth, death, and decre-
pitude (Janma mrityu jarātigah).
He who goes transcending the six kinds of changes
such as conception, birth, growth, maturity, decay and
death. The Śruti (Kath. Up., 2-18) says : "He, the intelli-
gent, is not born nor does he die." (Slo. 116)
967. He that causes to cross (the three worlds) by
means of the three Vyāhritis, Bhuh, Bhuvah, and Svah
(Bhūrbhuvassvastaruh).
