Lord Vishnu is the Para that which nothing surpasses and the end or object of existence. He is called the Apara para, the farthest bound of that, which is infinite, or space and time. Vishnu is the Param parabhyah, above or beyond the highest being, beyond or greater to all the elements. He is Paramartha rupi or identical with final truth, or knowledge of soul. Again he is said the Brahmapara, the object or essence of spiritual wisdom. Paraparabhuta is said to imply the farther limit (Para) of rudimental matter.
