Dharmādharbhaghnā (धर्माधर्भघ्ना, IAST: Dharmādharbhaghnā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Destroyer of that which is both dharma's enemy and dharma's misconception”. This epithet, from dharma, a-dharma (unrighteousness), and bhagna (broken, destroyed), declares Vishnu as the absolute upholder of cosmic order who shatters every form of unrighteousness at its root.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound dharma-adharma-bhagna encodes the classical Vedic polarity: dharma as the sustaining principle of existence and adharma as its corruption. Vishnu's role as Dharma-rakṣaka (protector of righteousness) is here expressed as an active, destructive force directed against all that subverts the sacred order He embodies and maintains.
This epithet of Vishnu is especially meditated upon in the context of His various avataras, each of which addresses a particular age's crisis of adharma. The name is theologically precise but phonetically complex for everyday use; pronunciation: dhar-mā-dhar-bhagh-nā.
Scriptural source
Dharmādharbhaghnā appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
