The svasti closes by invoking the upholders of the world -- the Sun, the elephants of the directions, and Shesha, on whose heads the earth rests. It is telling that Shesha is named: the Vaishnava tradition reveres him as Ananta, the couch of Vishnu Himself. Thus in the crown of the blessing a nearness to the Lord shows through. The verse teaches that at the foundation of all well-being stands the One on whom the world rests: Shesha-Ananta, the support of the earth, is a manifestation of the Lord Himself; and true svasti, true well-being, descends from Him who bears the whole of creation upon Himself.
