Brahmartha Vedaharana (ब्रह्मार्थवेदहरण, IAST: Brahmārthavedaharaṇa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Rescuer of the Vedas for the sake of Brahman”. From brahma (the Absolute or Brahmā), artha (purpose, sake, meaning), veda (sacred scriptures), and haraṇa (taking away, rescuing), this epithet recalls Viṣṇu's recovery of the stolen Vedas so that divine knowledge could be restored to Brahmā.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Hindu mythology recounts that the demon Śaṅkhāsura (or Hayagrīva, in certain accounts) stole the Vedas from Brahmā during the cosmic night, plunging the universe into ignorance. Viṣṇu incarnated as Matsya, the divine fish, and as Hayagrīva to reclaim this sacred knowledge, ensuring that the cosmic order governed by the Vedas could be reestablished. The word haraṇa here carries the nuance of both 'taking' and 'rescuing,' pointing to the heroic act of retrieval performed for the ultimate purpose of dharmic creation.
This compound epithet is found in extended namāvalī literature celebrating Viṣṇu's Matsya and Hayagrīva avatāras. As a standalone given name it is lengthy and descriptive; the shorter Vedaharaṇa or simply Haraṇa may serve better in daily use.
Scriptural source
Brahmartha Vedaharana appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
