víshṇu

although Vishṇu comes second in the triad he is identified with the supreme deity by his worshippers;
in the Vedic period, however, he is not placed in the foremost rank, although he is frequently invoked with other gods <esp. with Indra whom he assists in killing Vṛitra andﾠ with whom he drinks the Soma juice;
cf. his later names Indrânuja andﾠ Upêndra>;
as distinguished from the other Vedic deities, he is a personification of the light andﾠ of the sun, esp. in his striding over the heavens, which he is said to do in three paces
< seeﾠ tri-vikrama andﾠ cf. bali, vāmana>, explained as denoting the threefold manifestations of light in the form of fire, lightning, andﾠ the sun, orﾠ as designating the three daily stations of the sun in his rising, culminating, andﾠ setting;
Vishṇu does not appear to have been included at first among the Ādityas <q.v.>, although in later times he is accorded the foremost place among them;
in the Brāhmaṇas he is identified with sacrifice, andﾠ in one described as a dwarf;
in the Mahā-bhārata andﾠ Rāmayaṇa he rises to the supremacy which in some places he now enjoys as the most popular deity of modern Hindū worship;
the great rivalry between him andﾠ Ṡiva <cf. vaishṇava andﾠ ṡaiva> is not fully developed till the period of the Purāṇas:
the distinguishing feature in the character of the Post-vedic Vishṇu is his condescending to become incarnate in a portion of his essence on ten principal occasions, to deliver mankind from certain great dangers <cf. avatāra andﾠ IW. 327 >;
some of the Purāṇas make 22 incarnations, orﾠ even 24, instead of 10;
the Vaishṇavas regard Vishṇu as the supreme being, andﾠ often identify him with Nārāyaṇa, the personified Purusha orﾠ primeval living spirit <described as moving on the waters, reclining on Ṡesha, the serpent of infinity, while the god Brahmā. emerges from a lotus growing from his navel;
cf. Manu I, 10 >;
the wives of Vishṇu are Aditi andﾠ Sinīvālī, later Lakshmī orﾠ Ṡrī andﾠ even Sarasvatī;
his son is Kāma-deva, god of love, andﾠ his paradise is called Vaikuṇṭha;
he is usually represented with a peculiar mark on his breast called Ṡrī-vatsa, andﾠ as holding a ṡaṅkha, orﾠ conch-shell called Pāñcajanya, a cakra orﾠ quoit-like missile-weapon called Su-darṡana, a gadā orﾠ club called Kaumodakī andﾠ a padma orﾠ lotus;
he has alsoﾠ a bow called Ṡārṇga, andﾠ a sword called Nandaka;
his vāhana orﾠ vehicle is Garuḍa q.v.;
he has a jewel on his wrist called Syamantaka, another on his breast called Kaustubha, andﾠ the river Ganges is said to issue from his foot;
the demons slain by him in his character of « preserver from evil»,
orﾠ by Kṛishṇa as identified with him, are Madhu, Dhenuka, Cāṇūra, Yamala, andﾠ Arjuna < seeﾠ yamalâ̱rjuna>, Kāla-nemi, Haya-grīva, Ṡakaṭa, Arishṭa, Kaiṭabha, Kaṇsa, Keṡin, Mura, Ṡālva, Mainda, Dvi-vida, Rāhu, Hiraṇya-kaṡipu, Bāṇa, Kāliya, Naraka, Bali;
he is worshipped under a thousand names, which are all enumerated in MBh. XIII, 6950-7056 ;
he is sometimes regarded as the divinity of the lunar mansion called Ṡravaṇa) RV. etc. etc. (cf. RTL. 44 IW. 324);

perhaps connected with ṡvi cf. ṡavas, ṡiṡvi) auspicious, propitious, gracious, favourable, benign, kind, benevolent, friendly, dear (ám ind. kindly, tenderly) RV. etc. etc.;
happy, fortunate BhP. ;
m. happiness, welfare (cf. n.) R. V, 56, 36 ;
liberation, final emancipation L. ;
« The Auspicious one»
N. of the disintegrating orﾠ destroying andﾠ reproducing deity (who constitutes the third god of the Hindū Trimūrti orﾠ Triad, the other two being Brahmā. « the creator» andﾠ Vishṇu « the preserver» ;
in the Veda the only N. of the destroying deity wss Rudra « the terrible god»,
but in later times it became usual to give that god the euphemistic N. Ṡiva « the auspicious» <just as the Furies were called Eὐμενίδες « the gracious ones» >, andﾠ to assign him the office of creation andﾠ reproduction as well as dissolution;
in fact the preferential worship of Ṡiva as developed in the Purāṇas andﾠ Epic poems led to his being identified with the Supreme Being by his exclusive worshippers < called Ṡaivas>;
in his character of destroyer he is sometimes called Kāla « black», andﾠ is then alsoﾠ identified with Time, although his active destroying function is then oftener assigned to his wife under her name Kālī, whose formidable character makes her a general object of propitiation by sacrifices;
as presiding over reproduction consequent on destruction Ṡiva's symbol is the Liṇga <q.v.> orﾠ Phallus, under which form he is worshipped all over India at the present day;
again one of his representations is as Ardha-nārī, « half-female», the other half being male to symbolize the unity of the generative principle RTL. 85 ;
he has three eyes, one of which is in his forehead, andﾠ which are thought to denote his view of the three divisions of time, past, present, andﾠ future, while a moon's crescent, above the central eye, marks the measure of time by months, a serpent round his neck the measure by years,
andﾠ a second necklace of skulls with other serpents about his person, the perpetual revolution of ages, andﾠ the successive extinction andﾠ generation of the races of mankind:
his hair is thickly matted together, andﾠ gathered above his forehead into a coil;
on the top of it he bears the Ganges, the rush of which in its descent from heaven he intercepted by his head that the earth might not be crushed by the weight of the falling stream;
his throat is dark-blue from the stain of the deadly poison which would have destroyed the world had it not been swallowed by him on its production at the churning of the ocean by the gods for the nectar of immortality;
he holds a tri-ṡūla, orﾠ three-pronged trident < alsoﾠ called Pināka> in his hand to denote, as some think, his combination of the three attributes of Creator, Destroyer, andﾠ Regenerator;
he alsoﾠ carries a kind of drum, shaped like an hour-glass, called Ḍamaru:
his attendants orﾠ servants are called Pramatha <qq.vv.>;
they are regarded as demons orﾠ supernatural beings of different kinds, andﾠ form various hosts orﾠ troops called Gaṇas;
his wife Durgā <otherwise called Kālī, Pārvatī, Umā, Gaurī, Bhavāṇī etc.> is the chief object of worship with the Ṡāktas andﾠ Tāntrikas, andﾠ in this connection he is fond of dancing < seeﾠ tāṇḍava> andﾠ wine-drinking;
he is alsoﾠ worshipped as a great ascetic andﾠ is said to have scorched the god of love (Kāma-deva) to ashes by a glance from his central eye, that deity having attempted to inflame him with passion for Pārvatī whilst he was engaged in severe penance;
in the exercise of his function of Universal Destroyer he is fabled to have burnt up the Universe andﾠ all the gods, including Brahmā. andﾠ Vishṇu, by a similar scorching glance,
andﾠ to have rubbed the resulting ashes upon his body, whence the use of ashes in his worship, while the use of the Rudrâksha berries originated, it is said, from the legend that Ṡiva,
on his way to destroy the three cities, called Tri-pura, let fall some tears of rage which became converted into these beads:
his residence orﾠ heaven is Kailāsa, one of the loftiest northern peaks of the Himâlaya;
he has strictly no incarnations like those of Vishṇu, though Vīra-bhadra andﾠ the eight Bhairavas andﾠ Khaṇḍo-bā etc. RTL. 266 are sometimes regarded as forms of him;
he is especially worshipped at Benares andﾠ has even more names than Vishṇu,
one thousand andﾠ eight being specified in the 69th chapter of the Ṡiva-Purāṇa andﾠ in the 17th chapter of the Anuṡāsana-parvan of the Maha-bhārata, some of the most common being Mahā-deva, Ṡambhu, Ṡaṃkara, Īṡa, Īṡvara, Mahêṡvara, Hara;

ROMERÍA In Spain romerías are annual religious pilgrimages to chapels and shrines associated with particular saints or miracles of the Virgin. The pilgrims, called romeros, make their way on foot to the particular holy site, often covering long distances, and make offerings. The day's festivities often include sports fixtures, fireworks and traditional music and dancing. Some romerías are large-scale events, one of the best known being the Romería de la Virgen del Rocío at Huelva in Andalusia, which involves spectacular processions of pilgrims in traditional Andalusian dress, some on horseback and some in brilliantly decorated wagons.
