Puranic Encyclopaedia

JANĀRDANA I   A synonym of Mahāvīṣṇu (Śrī Kṛṣṇa). Because he made the Dasyus (Asuras--demons) tremble, Śrī Kṛṣṇa was called Janārdana. “He, who has lotus as his seat, who is eternal, imperishable and unchangeable, he who has all these attributes is Puṇḍarīkākṣa (lotus-eyed) and he who makes the Asuras tremble is Janārdana.” [M.B. Udyoga Parva, Chapter 70, Stanza 6] .
