tasmāttvamakṣaratvācca viṣṇurityeva kīrtyase.
viṣṭabdhaṃ yattvayā sarvaṃ jagat sthāvarajaṅgamam .. 248.39 ..

You do not wane or perish, even in course of crores of Kalpas, consequently, you are called Akshaya Viṣṇu, you are Viṣṇu, for you pervade the universe, moveable and immoveable. You are omnipresent in the three Lokas in the immoveable objects, and the Yakshas, Gandharvas, serpents and the Universe rest in you, hence Brahmâ calls you Viṣṇu. The philosophers call the waters Nâra and you first reposed yourself in the Waters, therefore, you are called Nârâyaṇa. You revive at the end of every yuga the lost Vedas, that is why you are known by the Risis as Govinda. You are the master of the senses (Hṛiṣis), therefore, you are known as Hṛiṣî Keśa.—39 44
