۲ñū貹 (यज्ञरू�) refers to the “sacrifice embodied� and is used as an epithet for Viṣṇu, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.36. Accordingly, as the Sages prayed to Viṣṇu:—“[...] O lord of Lakṣmī, lord of Devas, O great lord, lord of everyone, save the sacrifice of Dakṣa. Undoubtedly you are the sacrifice, the performer of sacrifice, the sacrifice embodied (ⲹñū貹), ancillary to sacrifice and the protector of sacrifice. Please save, save the sacrifice. There is none else than you to protect it�.
