Meaning, etymology & significance
Hridendra (हृदेन्द्र) is built from hṛd (heart) + indra (king). The literal sense is "king of the heart" — the regal Atman dwelling in the heart-cave of every being. In Upanishadic tradition the Atman in the heart is called the hṛdaya-īśvara, the lord of the heart.
The compound Hridendra extends the hṛd-name-family (Hridhaan, Hridyaan, Hridyaansh from earlier phases) with the -indra royal suffix.
A child named Hridendra is named with this regal-inner quality.
Pronunciation: hri-DEN-dra. Pair with classical surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
