The word bhUtAh can be derived from the root bhU - bhav - to be; bhavantiiti<br />

bhUtAni. The word vAsAh is derived from the root vas - nivAse - to dwell.<br />

SrI satyadevo vAsishTha gives the derivation - samantAdvasanti bhUtAni<br />

yasmin sah bhUtA-vAso vishNuh - He in Whom all beings everywhere live is<br />

bhUtA-vAsah.<br />

The nirukti description (a summarization of SrI BhaTTar's vyAkhyAnam) for<br />

the nAma is "yasmin vasanti bhUtAni bhUtA-vAsa sa kathyate" - He in Whom<br />

all beings reside is called bhUtA-vAsah.<br />

SrI v.v. rAmAnujan comments that Lord kRshNa revealed through several<br />

viSva rUpa darSana-s that He is bhUtA-vasah, One in Whom all beings reside.<br />

SrI rAmAnujan gives references to the gItA and to divya prabandham in<br />
