Chandasamvara (छन्दसांवर, IAST: Chandasāṃvara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Protector and supreme refuge of the Vedic metres”. From chandas (Vedic metre) + saṃ + vara (best shelter/refuge), this name reveals Viṣṇu as the sovereign guardian in whom all metrical wisdom finds its ultimate shelter.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Chandas refers to the Vedic metres — Gāyatrī, Triṣṭubh, Jagatī and others — that give the hymns their sacred rhythmic form. Vara here carries the sense of the choicest refuge, so Chandasāṃvara is the Lord who encompasses and protects the entire tradition of metrical verse. The compound signals that the structure of the Veda itself rests in Viṣṇu's protective embrace.
As this epithet, Viṣṇu is the hidden sustainer of every Vedic recitation, ensuring that the metres perdure through cosmic cycles. This is a long compound name; while profound in meaning it is rarely given as a standalone given name and is more common as a reverential epithet in stotra contexts.
Scriptural source
Chandasamvara appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
