KArtavIryajit (कार्तवीर्यजित्, IAST: Kārtavīryajit) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Conqueror of the mighty Kārtavīrya Arjuna”. Kārtavīrya refers to the thousand-armed king Kārtavīrya Arjuna of the Haihaya dynasty, and jit (from the root ji, to conquer) identifies the Lord as his vanquisher—commemorating the pivotal Purāṇic event that set the Paraśurāma avatāra's mission in motion.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Kārtavīrya Arjuna, also known as Sahasrabāhu, was a king of extraordinary power who had received boons from the sage Dattātreya; yet his tyranny ultimately brought him into fatal conflict with Paraśurāma after he stole the divine calf Kāmadhenu from the hermitage of Jamadagni. The name Kārtavīryajit therefore memorializes both personal vengeance and the broader cosmic act of purging the earth of adharmic rulership. The suffix jit is a noble martial epithet found throughout Sanskrit sacred literature.
This name belongs to Viṣṇu as Paraśurāma, who defeated Sahasrabāhu and is venerated in Mahārāṣṭrian tradition especially near the Paraśurāma kṣetras. Kārtavīryajit can function as a given name; it is pronounced kār-ta-veer-ya-jit.
Scriptural source
KArtavIryajit appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
