वसुश्रेष्ठ

The best among all treasures, the supreme excellence among all that is valuable

सभी धन-रत्नों में सर्वश्रेष्ठ, हर मूल्यवान वस्तु में परम उत्तम

Ashta Vasu — 8 elemental gods — Agni, Prithvi, Vayu, etc — शिव उन सबसे shreshtha। Kohinoor among diamonds — vasu-shreshtha gem। Gold standard — financial vasu-shreshtha। Bharat Ratna among awards — honour vasu-shreshtha। Mother's love among relationships — emotional vasu-shreshtha। Health among possessions — 'health is wealth' — physical vasu-shreshtha। शिव — the treasure that contains all treasures — having शिव means having everything — 'Shivo Labdhva Sarvam Labdham' — gaining Shiva means gaining all।

ॐChant for finding the supreme treasure. Ideal during wealth meditation. Invoke for recognising true value. Powerful during Dhanteras and Ashta Vasu puja.
