Arjunamadapaha (अर्जुनमदापह, IAST: Arjunamadāpaha) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Remover of Arjuna's pride and delusion”. Composed of Arjuna (the Pāṇḍava hero) + mada (intoxication, arrogance, pride) + apaha (one who removes), this name honors Krishna-Vishnu as the divine teacher who dispelled the warrior's ego and confusion at Kurukshetra.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word mada encompasses both emotional intoxication and the pride of one's own abilities; Arjuna, despite his extraordinary prowess, fell into grief and confusion (viṣāda) on the battlefield. It was Lord Krishna, the Vishnu-incarnate charioteer, who systematically dismantled that false pride through the eternal teaching of the Bhagavad Gītā. This name thus immortalizes the very moment dharmic wisdom dissolved the ego of the greatest archer of the age.
This epithet belongs to Krishna in his role as the Gītā-guru and charioteer of Arjuna. The name Arjunamadāpaha is occasionally given to boys in Vaishnava households to invoke the Lord's grace in removing ego from the bearer's own life.
Scriptural source
Arjunamadapaha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
