Anekamantrakoisha (अनेकमन्त्रकोटीश, IAST: Anekamantrakoṭīśa) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of countless tens of millions of sacred mantras”. From aneka (many, innumerable), mantra (sacred syllable or formula), koṭi (ten million; also an extreme multitude), and īśa (lord, master), this name exalts Vishnu as the sovereign over every mantra in every tradition.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The word koṭi in Sanskrit signifies both the number ten million and, more poetically, an incalculable multitude—so Anekamantrakoṭīśa places Vishnu beyond all numerical reckoning as the master of sacred sound. Every mantra, whether Vedic, Tāntric, Purāṇic, or esoteric, ultimately draws its potency from Vishnu as its innermost lord. The name reflects the Vaishnava conviction that nāma and mantra are not human constructions but luminous emanations of the divine being himself.

This expansive compound epithet is found in extended Vaishnava liturgical texts and emphasizes Vishnu's sovereignty over the entire universe of sacred sound and ritual. As a personal name the full form is impractical; Mantresha or Mantranatha are usable shortened alternatives.
