Bhrigupuatnishirohara (भृगुपत्नीशिरोहर, IAST: Bhṛgūpatnīśirohara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who removed the head of the sage Bhṛgu's wife”. Composed of Bhṛgu (the venerable sage), patnī (wife), śiras (head), and hara (remover/destroyer), this name recalls Viṣṇu's act of beheading Bhṛgu's wife Kāvalyā who had sheltered the fleeing asuras.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The sage Bhṛgu's wife Kāvalyā (or Pulomā's daughter, in some accounts) gave sanctuary to the demons who were fleeing from Indra's wrath, defying the divine cosmic order. Viṣṇu, as the sustainer of dharma, severed her head with His Sudarśana Cakra. This act, while seemingly severe, is understood in the Purāṇic framework as the Lord's unerring maintenance of cosmic justice, though it later led Bhṛgu to kick Viṣṇu's chest—a famous episode explaining the śrīvatsa mark.
This epithet of Viṣṇu is rooted in a specific Purāṇic narrative and is found in stotra literature as a testament to His absolute commitment to righteous order. Its subject matter makes it inappropriate as a given name for a child.
