The definition of Vishnu and Narayana

Vishnu means the giver and provider of things. The Vedas describe him as the god of three strides, upholder of law and giver of boons. In course of time he became Narayana, which literally means, the dweller of waters and dweller of human beings. The word nara means both water(naram) and human (nara).
