Devendrādindratāharā (देवेन्द्रादिन्द्रताहरा, IAST: Devendrādindratāharā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who strips Indra and others of their lordly sovereignty”. Compounded from deva-indra (Indra, king of gods), ādi (and others), indratā (the quality of lordship), and hara (remover), this name proclaims that all sovereignty among the gods is ultimately held at Vishnu's grace alone.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root hara (√hṛ, to take away) combined with indratā (the state of being Indra, i.e. supreme lordship) produces a striking theological statement: even the most exalted divine office is contingent. Indra and the other celestial rulers possess their authority only insofar as the Supreme Lord permits it, and He may withdraw it as Lila demands.
As an epithet of Vishnu, this name is associated with narratives in which the Lord humbles proud Indra, most famously in the Govardhan episode of the Bhagavata Purana. Its compound length renders it liturgical rather than personal; pronunciation: de-ven-drā-din-dra-tā-ha-rā.
Scriptural source
Devendrādindratāharā appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
