Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 3, Ch. 18]
boar, actually he worshiped Him in several words. For example, he addressed Him as  vana-gocaraḥ , which means one who is a resident of the forest, but another meaning of  vana-gocaraḥ  is one who lies on the water. Viṣṇu lies on the water, so the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be properly addressed in this way. The demon also addressed Him as  mṛgaḥ , indicating, unintentionally, that the Supreme Personality is sought after by great sages, saintly persons and transcendentalists. He also addressed Him as  ajña . Śrīdhara Śvāmī says that  jña  means knowledge and there is no knowledge which is unknown to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Indirectly, therefore, the demon said that Viṣṇu knows everything. He addressed Him as  surādhama .  Sura  means the demigods, and  adhama  means Lord of all there is. He is Lord of all the demigods; therefore He is the best of all demigods, or God. When the demon used the phrase “in my presence,” the implied meaning was: “In spite of my presence, You are completely able to take away the earth.”  Na svasti yāsyasi : “Unless You kindly take this earth from our custody, there can be no good fortune for us.”
