— Janmamrityujaratita

Janmamrityujaratita (जन्ममृत्युजरातीत, IAST: Janmamṛtyujarātīta) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Beyond birth, death, and old age”. A compound of janma (birth), mṛtyu (death), jarā (old age), and atīta (transcended), this name proclaims that the Lord stands eternally beyond the threefold suffering of mortal existence.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Each constituent of this profound compound names one of the inescapable afflictions of embodied life: janma, the entry into birth; mṛtyu, the cessation of life; and jarā, the gradual decay that precedes death. Atīta, from the root i with prefix ati, means 'having gone beyond.' Together they paint the Lord as the one Being who is wholly untouched by the cycle that binds all creatures.

This epithet appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama to glorify the Lord's transcendence over saṃsāra; as a given name it is extremely long and best suited to devotional use or as an abbreviated title such as Jaratita.

Scriptural source

Janmamrityujaratita appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
