Raja Ravi Varma Painting – 'Rama Conquers Varuna'

Sushen (IAST: Suṣhēn; lit.'sacred army') is an epithet of Vishnu, cited in the epic Hindu hymn Vishnu Sahasranama (The thousand names of Vishnu). Several characters described in the Hindu texts also have the name Sushena.[1]

Literature

Stanza 58 of the Vishnu Sahasranama contains the name suṣhēnah:[2][3]

mahāvarāho govindạh suṣhēnah kanakāngadeguhyo gabhēro gahanọ guptaśchakragadādharah

The Advaita philosopher Adi Shankaracharya wrote a definitive Sanskrit commentary on the Sahasranama in the eighth century CE, which has been particularly influential for many schools of Hinduism.[4] His commentary on Stanza 58 included: "Suṣhēnah – He who has a charming army. The army of Vishnu is called as His Ganā. They are mainly constituted of great sages and seers and hence, their compelling enchantment."[5][6]

In the 13th century CE, Parasara Bhattar wrote a commentary in Tamil on Vishnu Sahasranama from a Vaishnavite viewpoint, giving the opinion that Bhagavan (Vishnu) has a body that is pure suddha-sattva, and the constituents of this pure body are like an army that can win over the jivas (nitya-muktas and baddha-muktas) and make them join him in mutual enjoyment of bliss.[7][8]
