Jitagaurishа (जितगौरीश, IAST: Jitagaurīśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who has conquered the lord of Gauri (Shiva)”. From 'jita' (conquered) and 'Gaurīśa' (lord of Gaurī, i.e., Śiva), this epithet proclaims Viṣṇu's supreme sovereignty even over Maheśvara.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root 'jita' derives from the Sanskrit verbal root 'ji' (to conquer or overcome), while 'Gaurīśa' is a compound of 'Gaurī' (the goddess Pārvatī) and 'Īśa' (lord), referring to Śiva. Together, Jitagaurīśa asserts Viṣṇu's transcendence above all other divinities, including the great Destroyer himself. This name reflects the Vaiṣṇava theological position of Viṣṇu as Para-Brahman, the highest of all divine manifestations.
This epithet appears in Viṣṇu's thousand-name hymn, underscoring his position as the supreme Lord worshipped even by Śiva. The name is pronounced ji-taa-gau-ree-sha, with a long 'ā' in 'gaurī' and stress on the second syllable of each component.
Scriptural source
Jitagaurishа appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
