Kalamrityunivartaka (कालमृत्युनिवर्तक, IAST: Kālamṛtyunivartaka) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “One who turns back the death decreed by time”. From 'kāla' (time-death, fate), 'mṛtyu' (death), and 'nivartaka' (one who causes to turn back, a reverser), this name proclaims Vishnu as the supreme power who reverses even the death ordained by cosmic time.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Kālamṛtyu is a compound describing the inevitable death that time itself decrees upon all beings, while 'nivartaka' comes from 'ni' and 'vṛt,' meaning to cause to turn back or to reverse. Together they describe an act of divine grace that is nothing short of miraculous: the annulment of cosmic finality itself. Vishnu as Kālamṛtyunivartaka is the refuge of those who face unavoidable doom, the grace that overrides fate.
This epithet appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, and its theological kinship with stories such as Vishnu's rescue of Markandeya from Yama is immediately apparent. Pronounced 'kaa-la-mrit-yu-ni-var-ta-ka,' the name is best retained in full for ritual recitation; Kalamrityu or Nivartaka may serve as shorter accessible forms.

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