Jagatsrashta (जगत्स्रष्टा, IAST: Jagatsraṣṭā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Creator and fashioner of the entire universe”. Jagatsraṣṭā combines 'jagat' with 'sraṣṭā' (creator, from the root 'sṛj,' to release, to create), naming Vishnu as the supreme originator who projects the universe from his own being.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root 'sṛj' means to let go, to emit, to release — creation in the Vedic sense is an outpouring of the divine self rather than construction from external material. 'Sraṣṭā' is the agent noun: the one who continuously emits and sustains the cosmos. In the Pāñcarātra tradition, this creative function belongs to Vishnu acting through his vyūha (emanation) forms, making Jagatsraṣṭā a theologically precise epithet.
This epithet appears in the Vishnu Sahasranāma and Purāṇic hymns; it is occasionally used as a given name in traditional families and is pronounced 'ja-gat-SRASH-taa.'
Scriptural source
Jagatsrashta appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
