Jitarudrārkamardādyakhileśvara (जितरुद्रार्कमरुदाद्यखिलेश्वर, IAST: Jitarudrārkamardādyakhileśvara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of all, having conquered Rudra, the Sun, and Maruts”. Jita (conquered), Rudra (Śiva), arka (the sun), marut (the wind gods), ādi (and others), and akhileśvara (lord of all existence) together declare Vishnu's supreme sovereignty transcending every other cosmic deity.

Meaning, etymology & significance

This magnificent compound catalogues the greatest powers of the cosmos — Rudra the lord of storms and destruction, Arka the blazing sun, the Maruts the storm-wind deities — and declares that Vishnu has conquered or transcended all of them, not in hostility but in the sense that He is their ultimate source and sustainer. Akhileśvara, from akhila (entire, all) and īśvara (lord, master), is itself a complete epithet of sovereignty, and the preceding qualifiers show that this lordship is not theoretical but demonstrated through His transcendence of every cosmic force. This name encapsulates the Vaishnava theological position of Vishnu as Parabrahman, the supreme reality beyond all secondary divinities.

This highly compound epithet is suited to formal Sahasranama recitation and theological discussion rather than daily use as a personal name; its grandeur is best appreciated in the meditative context of a namavali.
