Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

Gīta Bhāshya 10.21

He is called 'Viṣṇu' because he is the: mover of all beings and creatures, pervades the heavens and the earth, supreme splendor, dwells in the beings, their intentionality, and traverser. Root 'viṣlṛ' means to pervade, and 'viśa' means to enter.

He is called 'Viṣṇu' because of his all-pervading and penetrative nature.

"'viṣlṛ' means to pervade, and 'viśa' means to enter."

- thus is the recitation.

"O Bhārata, I am the mover of all beings and creatures; I pervade the heavens and the earth; my splendor is supreme; I dwell in the beings and am their intentionality too; and I traverse - O Pārtha, Hence I am known as Viṣṇu."

- stated thus in the Mokṣa-dharma section (of the Mahābhārata).

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
