Bhairavatarjaka (भैरवतर्जक, IAST: Bhairavatarjaka) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “One who terrifies even Bhairava himself”. From 'bhairava' (the fearsome form of Shiva) and 'tarjaka' (one who rebukes or frightens), this name proclaims Vishnu's supreme sovereignty over all terrifying cosmic forces.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound unites 'bhairava,' denoting Shiva's most fearsome aspect, with 'tarjaka,' derived from the root 'tarj' meaning to threaten or intimidate. Together they affirm that the Lord Vishnu stands beyond even the most dreadful manifestations of cosmic power, remaining unshaken and supreme. This epithet invites contemplation of a divine majesty so vast that even the destroyer's terror dissolves in His presence.
This is an epithet of Lord Vishnu as encountered in the Vishnu Sahasranama, testifying to His transcendence over all fearsome deities. Pronounced 'bhai-ra-va-tar-ja-ka,' the name is best used in its full compound form to preserve its layered theological meaning.
Scriptural source
Bhairavatarjaka appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
