means human while anaya is the direction or goal. As such,
Narayanaya is the direction taken by a human; which helps humans

Narayanaya is the final shelter of all human beings. It may also be
interpreted to signify the ultimate goal or journey of life; which will see the
amalgamation of the atma (soul) with the Paramatma (Almighty).
"I offer homage to you, O master of all the gods! O Sri Vishnu, O
supremely powerful one, you are the original conscious being.
You are beyond the material qualities, and yet you possess all the
eternal virtues." ~ Traditional Prayer.
