He is Arthah - He is Anarthah;
"Arthah" generally gives a meaning of wealth which is
materialistic. Here in a supreme spiritual sense, ultimate wealth for a soul is
Lord Vishnu which is eternal/permanent. He is the ultimate wealth (Arthah)
every soul would be longing to have.
Arthah also denotes meaning. Lord Vishnu is the real/ultimate
meaning of everything in this universe;
He is Arthah the giver of wealth and also ParamaArtha the
ultimate/superior wealth.
Lord Vishnu is also ANARTHAH;
Literally the word Anarthah indicates disastrous (adverse) -
Yes, Lord Vishnu is detrimental (Anarthahkaari) for those who exceed the limits
of Arthah that leads to negative passions (ArishadVargas); for those who exceed
the limits set by Him (Universal Law)/ordained by Him.
Another meaning that we can understand is; Anarthah is opposite
of Arthah - Lord Vishnu doesn't need wealth (materialistic); He is Vashatkarah;
the one who possesses divine and auspicious qualities like...
> Comprehensive control over everything (sovereignty/lordship);
> All capabilities to do and undo anything and everything;
