Chaturbhuja (चतुर्भुज, IAST: Caturbhuja) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The four-armed Lord of all creation”. Formed from catur (four) and bhuja (arm), Caturbhuja denotes Vishnu's iconic four-armed form, each arm bearing the śaṅkha, cakra, gadā, and padma — instruments representing sound, will, power, and purity respectively.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The four arms of the Lord are not merely iconographic convention but cosmic symbols: the conch embodies primal sound, the discus the wheel of time and dharma, the mace sovereign power, and the lotus the beauty of liberated consciousness. Every image of Vishnu in his four-armed splendor is a meditative map of the universe's governance. The name Caturbhuja thus invites the devotee to see divinity not as formless abstraction but as an accessible, nurturing presence.
Caturbhuja is one of the most widely recognized epithets of Vishnu and also appears as a name of Śiva in certain Śaiva texts. Pronounced cha-tur-bhoo-ja, it carries an immediate visual resonance beloved by devotees across India.
Scriptural source
Chaturbhuja appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
