Asahyagandharvakotighna (असह्यगन्धर्वकोटिघ्न, IAST: asahyagandharvakoṭighna) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Slayer of countless unbearable Gandharvas”. From 'asahya' (unbearable, irresistible, from a + sah, to endure), 'gandharva' (celestial musicians, semi-divine beings), 'koṭi' (ten million, countless), and 'ghna' (slayer, from han), this epithet celebrates Shatrughna's conquest of vast armies of mighty Gandharvas.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Gandharvas are described in Vedic and Puranic texts as celestial beings of extraordinary power and beauty who can also be fearsome in battle. 'Asahya' qualifies them as beings whose might is beyond ordinary endurance, making Shatrughna's victory over crores of them a feat of extraordinary divine valour. 'Koṭi' (ten million) is used in Sanskrit both as a precise number and as a hyperbolic expression of overwhelming multitude, conveying that no earthly count could exhaust the extent of his triumph.
This epithet belongs to Shatrughna, the youngest of the four sons of Daśaratha, within the Rāmāyaṇa-stava segment of the Vishnu Sahasranama; it is too long and specific for common use as a given name. The suffix '-ghna' is common in Sanskrit epithets of divine warriors.
