Accordingly as BrahmÄ narrated to NÄrada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Åšiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] Obeisance to the original Praká¹›ti, the great presiding deity of everything [viz., ³§²¹°ù±¹Äå»å³ó²â²¹°ìá¹£a]. Obeisance to Thee the great Puruá¹£a, the great lord, the bestower of allâ€�.

You are the Supreme Person, the origin of material nature and of the total material energy. You are also the owner of the material body. Therefore, You are the supreme complete. I offer my respectful obeisances unto Youâ€�.
He is called ³§²¹°ù±¹Äå»å³ó²â²¹°ìá¹£a because everything in the material world works under His supervision. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (9.10), wherein the Lord says, mayÄdhyaká¹£eṇa praká¹›tiá¸� sÅ«yate sacarÄcaram: “This material nature, working under My direction, O son of KuntÄ«, is producing all moving and unmoving beingsâ€�. [...] Lord Kṛṣṇa knows the destiny of all superior and inferior entities, animate and inanimate, and as the Supreme Absolute Truth He remains in His unique position above everything, as indicated by the word SarvÄdhyaká¹£Äya.

Vaishnava (वैषà¥à¤£à¤µ, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnuâ€�).
