Jagadaartighna (जगदार्तिघ्न, IAST: Jagadārtigha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Destroyer of the world's suffering and pain”. From 'jagat' (the moving world), 'ārti' (anguish, affliction), and 'ghna' (slayer), this name proclaims Vishnu as the one who annihilates every sorrow that afflicts embodied beings.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound Jagadārtigha is a compound of three elements: 'jagat,' meaning the ever-moving universe; 'ārti,' derived from the root 'ṛ' meaning to afflict or pain; and 'ghna,' from the root 'han,' meaning to strike down or destroy. Together they paint Vishnu as the cosmic physician who does not merely soothe but completely eliminates the root causes of worldly suffering. This name is especially venerated by devotees seeking relief from grief, illness, and the existential anguish of saṃsāra.
As an epithet in the Vishnu Sahasranāma, Jagadārtigha underscores Vishnu's role as saviour and healer of creation; due to its compound length it is rare as a standalone given name but is honoured in ritual recitation.
