Brahmā's hymn begins — twelve verses, each ending in an obeisance. The first takes the widest thing: the universe.
Four names rise by degrees and cover every relation of God to the world. Viśva-rūpa — "of all forms": the world is His shape. Viśva-sthity-anta-hetu — "the cause of its standing and its end": He upholds the world and He folds it up. Viśveśvara — "Lord of the universe": He governs it. And finally viśva — "the universe itself".
The last name is the boldest, and it is easily misunderstood. It does not mean that God is used up in the world: the same book has just said that beyond Vāsudeva there is nothing, and that the world is only unfolded from Him. It means that there is nothing that could be outside Him; the world is not another being standing next to Him.
And all this ends with a cowherd's name: govindāya namo namaḥ. Such is the build of every verse of this hymn — cosmic sweep, and at the end Govinda.
The double obeisance, "namo namaḥ", is not mere emphasis: so in prayers one bows twice, and the very sound carries the repetition of a step.
