Bhogamokṣasukhaprada (भोगमोक्षसुखप्रद, IAST: Bhogamokṣasukhaprada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Bestower of enjoyment, liberation, and happiness”. From bhoga (enjoyment, worldly pleasures), mokṣa (liberation, spiritual freedom), sukha (happiness, well-being), and prada (bestower), this name declares Viṣṇu as the all-fulfilling Lord who grants both worldly joy and ultimate liberation.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The pairing of bhoga and mokṣa is theologically significant — most philosophies place them in tension, as attachment to worldly enjoyment is considered an obstacle to liberation; but Viṣṇu as their joint bestower transcends this polarity, granting the devotee whatever is appropriate to their stage of spiritual evolution. Sukha, the inner quality of well-being, bridges the two realms, suggesting that true happiness pervades both the engaged life and the liberated life when Viṣṇu is the centre. This epithet thus proclaims the Lord's supreme freedom from any limitation in what He can grant to sincere seekers.

Bhogamokṣasukhaprada is a compound epithet in the Dattātreya-stotra tradition and the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma; its length makes it a liturgical title rather than a given name. Pronounced bho-gah-MOK-shah-soo-khah-prah-dah.
