aum rohitaaya namah (ओं रोहिताय नमः) (ఓం రోహితాయ నమః)
He is called rohitah as He has brightness similar to redness of the light of the interior of a lotus flower. As the word 'lohita' indicates the redness, and the colour of the interior of a lotus is also red, this namam means that He has such a red-coloured body. One may doubt, how this is possible as the colour of Sri Maha Vishnu is blue.
Here one has to understand that the colour of His body changes in some of His avataars. It was white in hayagreeva - hamsa and other avataars; golden in the form of the Sun. Similarly, at the time of His marriage with Sri Maha Lakshmi, His body shone with red light (lohita) like that of the interior of a lotus.
aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya!
