Divine Slumber on the Cosmic Serpent

This exquisite brass statue captures a moment of profound cosmic repose, depicting Lord Vishnu reclining on the coiled coils of the divine serpent, Shesha. Known as Shesha-shayi Vishnu, this form represents Vishnu in his eternal slumber, a state of meditation from which the entire universe emanates and into which it is eventually reabsorbed. The intricate craftsmanship of this brass masterpiece brings to life the divine serenity and immense power of the preserver god. Shesha, the king of the Nagas, with his thousand heads, forms a magnificent bed for Vishnu, symbolizing the infinite and the eternal. The serpent's scales are rendered with remarkable detail, conveying a sense of organic life and divine protection. Vishnu, depicted in a posture of deep meditation, is a vision of peace. His right hand is often shown resting on his knee or holding a divine object, while his gaze is serene, embodying the tranquil balance of the cosmos.

The Consorts of the Lord

Flanking Lord Vishnu are the benevolent forms of Shridevi and Bhudevi, his two principal consorts. Shridevi, representing wealth, prosperity, and auspiciousness, sits gracefully to one side. Bhudevi, the goddess of the Earth, embodiment of fertility and nourishment, sits on the other. Their presence signifies the divine feminine energy that complements Vishnu's cosmic role. They are depicted with serene expressions and traditional adornments, reflecting their divine status and their inseparable connection to the Lord. Their placement highlights the harmonious interplay of divine forces that sustain creation.

A Symbol of Creation and Preservation

The imagery of Shesha-shayi Vishnu is deeply embedded in Hindu mythology. It is from the navel of Vishnu, while he is in this state of cosmic sleep, that the lotus blooms, and from this lotus emerges Lord Brahma, the creator. This statue thus serves as a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of existence – the eternal process of creation, preservation, and dissolution that governs the universe. In Hindu philosophy, this reclining posture is not merely a depiction of rest, but a state of potent, latent energy, the source from which all activity and manifest existence arise. The brass material lends a timeless aura to the piece, its golden hue resonating with the divine radiance attributed to the deities. This statue is a fitting adornment for any sacred space or home, inviting contemplation on the infinite and the eternal.
