Vedic Reflections - Shri VishnusahasranAmam (Stanza 14)
Today, I briefly translate the 14th shloka of SahasrAnAmam and this one actually deals a lot with the Vedas. We will see here, how Mahavishnu's names in these shlokas depict His immense knowledge in and about the vedas such that he himself has been refered to as the Vedas.
