Drishtimatrapatitiaikadashānana (दृष्टिमात्रपातितैकदशानन, IAST: Dṛṣṭimātrapātitaikadaśānana) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who felled the ten-faced Ravana by mere gaze”. Composed of dṛṣṭi (sight/gaze), mātra (alone/merely), pātita (caused to fall/felled), eka-daśā-nana (the one with ten faces, i.e., Rāvaṇa), this name celebrates Vishnu as the Lord whose single divine glance was sufficient to destroy the mighty ten-headed demon king.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Rāvaṇa, the ten-headed (daśānana) sovereign of Laṅkā, was among the most formidable of all adversaries in the cosmic drama. This name glorifies Vishnu-Rāma's supremacy by claiming that even Rāvaṇa's fall was ultimately ordained by the Lord's mere gaze—his will alone brought the demon low before a single arrow was released. The hyperbole is devotional: it asserts that all the great battles of the Rāmāyaṇa were expressions of Vishnu's sovereign intent rather than mere military contests.
This epithet belongs to the Rāmāyaṇa-devotional stream of the Vaishnava tradition; as a compound name it is impractical for daily use and is pronounced dṛsh-ṭi-maa-tra-paa-ti-tai-ka-da-shaa-na-na.
