Narayana

• another name for Vishnu or the Hindu name for God.
• The book, Sri Ramanuja, His Life, Religion, and Philosophy, published by Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, India, states that the name "Narayana" means, "He who is the dwelling place, i.e., the source, support and dissolving ground of all Jivas or souls, including inert matter."
• One of the most famous mantras, "Om Namo Narayana" is chanted by Hindus. This mantra, along with "Om Namo Shivah", and the Gayatri mantra are the most sacred prayers by Hindus.

A verse that confers the Devas' subordinate status comes from the Vishnu sahasranama, whose concluding verses state: "The Rishis (great sages), ancestors, the Devas, the great elements, in fact, all things moving and unmoving constituting this universe have originated from Narayana." (i.e.,Vishnu.) This verse, if proof was necessary, is enough show that the Devas are subordinate to Vishnu or God.
