Kalamushakaabhakshaka (कालमूषकभक्षक, IAST: Kālamūṣakabhakṣaka) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Devourer of the dark or time-like mouse”. From kāla (time or black/dark), mūṣaka (mouse, rat), and bhakṣaka (devourer), this name portrays Vishnu as the divine cat who consumes the gnawing mouse of time or dark ignorance.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The mūṣaka (mouse or rat) in Indian symbolism represents the gnawing away of merit, lifespan, and spiritual attainment — much as a rodent erodes grain stores. Kāla here may mean either 'black' (darkness of ignorance) or 'time' (that which erodes all things). Vishnu as bhakṣaka of this mouse is the power that arrests spiritual erosion and the decay of dharma. This name may also form a pair with the preceding mārjāra epithet, reinforcing a cat-and-mouse cosmic drama.
The epithet is found in extended Vaishnava namavali traditions; its feline-and-rodent imagery is vivid and memorable. As a standalone name, Bhakshaka or Kalamushaka could function devotionally, though the full compound is rarely given as a personal name.

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