Chaturvyuha (चतुर्व्यूह, IAST: Caturvyūha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He of the fourfold cosmic emanation”. From 'catur' (four) and 'vyūha' (arrangement, emanation, cosmic array), this name reveals Viṣṇu as the source of the four great divine emanations that structure and sustain the cosmos.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The doctrine of caturvyūha is foundational to Pāñcarātra Vaiṣṇavism: Vāsudeva, Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha are the four vyūhas, each responsible for a specific cosmic function—existence, knowledge, power, and action respectively. As Caturvyūha, Viṣṇu is the primordial source from which these four divine persons radiate, like light through a prism. This epithet affirms that the complexity of cosmic governance flows from one undivided divine source.
Caturvyūha is a distinguished theological name used in temple liturgy and philosophical texts of the Vaiṣṇava traditions. It is pronounced cha-tur-vyoo-ha, with a clear long 'ū' in 'vyūha.'
Scriptural source
Chaturvyuha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
