("Lord of the Universe")
Jagannath has been identified as a form of Krishna, Vishnu's
eighth avatar or incarnation, and by extension the god Vishnu, to whom #
Jagannath has been linked as a form of Krishna, Vishnu's
eighth avatar or incarnation.
The Dashavatara Stotra, the first hymn of the Gitagovinda, a
lyric devotional song penned by the poet Jayadeva, gives Jagannath the name
Jagadisha.
The name Jagadisha is utilized in one of the most famous and
well-known religious hymns in contemporary northern India, the Jagadisha Arati,
which is dedicated to Vishnu in particular.
