" a worshipper of -V विष्णु" N. of one of the three great divisions of modern Hinduism (the other two being the शैवs and शाक्तs ; the वैष्णवs identify विष्णु- rather than ब्रह्माand शिव- with the supreme Being , and are exclusively devoted to his worship ; they have become separated into four principal and some minor sects , as follow: 1. the रामानुजs , founded by रामा-नुज, who is said to have lived for 120 years [from 1017 till 1137 A.D.] Page1027,3 ; his chief doctrines are described at p. 878 , col. 1 , and in RTL. p.119etc. ; one peculiarity of his sect is the scrupulous preparation and privacy of three meals ; 2. the माध्वs , founded by a Kanarese Brahman named मध्व, whose chief doctrines are described at p. 782 , col. 3 , and in RTL. p.130etc. 3. the वल्लभs , founded by वल्लभा-चार्य, whose chief doctrines are described at p. 928 , col. 3 , and in RTL. p.134etc. ; 4. a sect in Bengal founded by चैतन्य[See. ] who was regarded by his followers as an incarnation of कृष्ण; his chief doctrine was the duty of भक्ति, or love for that god which was to be so strong that no caste-feelings could exist with it [see RTL. p.140etc. ] Of the minor वैष्णवsects those founded by निम्बा-र्कor निम्बा-दित्य[ RTL. 146 ] and by रामा-नन्द[ RTL. 147 ] and by स्वामि-नारायण[ RTL. 148 ] are perhaps the most important , to which also may be added the reformed theistic sect founded by Kabir [ RTL. 158 ] and the Sikh theistic sect founded by Nanak [ RTL. 161 ])

Vaiṣṇavāstra, Vaiṣṇava (astra):  : nt. (sg.; pl. 3. 164. 30) Name of a missile belonging to Viṣṇu (tad astraṁ pārtha māmakam 7. 28. 33).


A. History: In the bygone days, Earth (pṛthivī, jagatī, kṣamā) asked for her son Naraka the following boon from the fourth form of Kṛṣṇa (Viṣṇu) which wakes up once after thousand years: “May he be equipped with the Vaiṣṇavāstra so that he cannot be killed by the gods and the Asuras”; accordingly Viṣṇu gave the missile to Naraka and said: “May this missile be unfailing in protecting Naraka; no one shall kill him; protected by the missile, Naraka will be unassailable in the worlds for all times”; from Naraka, the missile went to Prāgjyotiṣa (Bhagadatta) 7. 28. 26-33.


B. Description: heavenly (divya) 6. 116. 38; great missile (paramāstra) 7. 28. 34; unfailing (amogha) 7. 28. 29, 30; killer of all (sarvaghātaka) 7. 28. 17.


C. Knowledge: Indra told Arjuna to go to his residence in the heaven to learn all the Vaiṣṇava missiles (vaiṣṇavāni ca sarvāṇi) together with other heavenly missiles 3. 164. 29-30; accroding to Bhīṣma, all the heavenly missiles including the Vaiṣṇava astra, known to Arjuna and perhaps to Kṛṣṇa, and to no one else in the world of the mortals (sarvasmin mānuṣe loke vetty eko hi dhanaṁjayaḥ/ kṛṣṇo vā devakīputro nānyo vai veda kaścana) 6. 116. 38-39.


D. Use in the epic war: Bhagadatta, wishing to release the Vaiṣṇavāstra (udīrayan) recited mantras (abhimantrya) on his hook (aṅkuśa) and hurled it aiming it on Arjuna's chest; Kṛṣṇa covered Arjuna and received the missile on his chest, where it turned into the garland Vaijayantī 7. 28. 16-18; since there was no one in the worlds, including even Indra and Rudra, who could not be killed by the missile, Kṛṣṇa covered Arjuna to save him (nāsyāvadhyo 'sti lokeṣu sendrarudreṣu māriṣa) 7. 28. 33-34.
