Kotivajradhikanakha (कोटिवज्राधिकनख, IAST: koṭivajrādhikanakha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Whose nails surpass ten million thunderbolts in might”. From koṭi (ten million), vajra (thunderbolt), adhika (surpassing), and nakha (nail), this epithet honours the Lord whose very fingernails excel the destructive power of Indra's thunderbolt itself.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound koṭivajrādhikanakha is a bahuvrihi that glorifies Viṣṇu's cosmic ferocity latent even in the smallest part of His divine form. Each nail is celebrated as mightier than a crore of Indra's vajras, pointing to the Narasiṃha manifestation in which those very nails tore through the demon Hiraṇyakaśipu. The name reminds the devotee that infinite power dwells even in the most delicate features of the Supreme.
This epithet is found in namāvalī traditions honouring Narasiṃha and Viṣṇu in His fiercer aspects. As a given name it is a compound of five elements and extremely rare; pronunciation stress falls on koṭi-VAJ-rā-DHI-ka-NA-kha.
Scriptural source
Kotivajradhikanakha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
