Balisamyamana (बलिसंयमन, IAST: Balisaṃyamana) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Restrainer and subduer of the demon Bali”. From 'bali' (the mighty asura-king) and 'saṃyamana' (restraining, binding), this name celebrates Vishnu's cosmic act of curbing demonic power to restore divine order.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound joins 'bali,' the great asura renowned for his generosity and pride, with 'saṃyamana,' derived from the root 'yam' (to restrain) with the prefix 'sam' indicating completeness. This epithet honors the Vamana avatar, in which Vishnu subdued King Bali with three strides, reclaiming the three worlds for the devas and reinstating Indra's sovereignty. The act was not mere conquest but a divine play that simultaneously humbled, blessed, and immortalized Bali.
This epithet belongs to Vishnu as celebrated in the Vishnu Sahasranama; as a personal name it is lengthy but carries immense devotional weight for families devoted to the Vamana lila. Pronounced bah-lee-sahm-yah-mah-nah, with equal stress across syllables.
Scriptural source
Balisamyamana appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
