Chaturmurti (चतुर्मूर्ति, IAST: Caturmūrti) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The one who bears four divine forms”. From Sanskrit catur (four) and mūrti (form or embodiment), this name reveals Vishnu's manifestation as the fourfold cosmic reality — Vāsudeva, Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha — the Vyūha doctrine of the Pāñcarātra tradition.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root mūrti derives from the verbal root mūr, meaning 'to take solid form,' so Caturmūrti signifies one who assumes four distinct yet unified divine embodiments. In Vaishnava theology these four vyūha forms govern creation, sustenance, cosmic intelligence, and individual consciousness. Bearing all four simultaneously, the Lord reveals that multiplicity and oneness are never apart in Him.
Caturmūrti is celebrated as an epithet of Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranāma and in Pāñcarātra āgamic texts. Pronounced cha-tur-moor-tee, the stress falls naturally on the second syllable.
Scriptural source
Chaturmurti appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
