Adbhutabhogavat (अद्भुतभोगवत्, IAST: Adbhutabhogavat) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Possessor of wondrous, marvellous enjoyments”. From adbhuta (wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary), bhoga (enjoyment, experience, the coils of a serpent), and the suffix -vat (possessing), this name celebrates Vishnu's wondrous divine bliss and His majestic repose upon the great serpent Ananta.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Bhoga carries two resonant meanings in this context: the enjoyment of supreme divine bliss (ānanda), and the great coils (bhoga) of the serpent Ādiśeṣa upon which Vishnu reclines in cosmic repose. Both meanings apply perfectly — Vishnu possesses extraordinary (adbhuta) divine enjoyment and rests upon the most extraordinary of serpent-coils. The epithet thus celebrates both His inner bliss and His majestic outer form as Śeṣaśāyin.

Adbhutabhogavat is an evocative epithet of Lord Vishnu that captures the breathtaking splendour of His divine experience. Pronounced ad-bhoo-tah-bho-gah-vat, the compound is more liturgical than personal and is rarely adopted as a standalone given name.
