Krodheshvara (क्रोधेश्वर, IAST: Krodheśvara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord and master over all divine wrath”. From 'krodha' (righteous wrath, fierce energy) and 'īśvara' (supreme lord), this name reveals Vishnu as the sovereign ruler of cosmic anger, wielding it with perfect justice and never being consumed by it.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Krodha in its divine application is not passion-driven anger but the concentrated energy of cosmic justice that annihilates adharma. By joining this with 'īśvara,' the epithet declares that no force of wrath—however vast—operates outside Vishnu's sovereign will. He is not merely wrathful but the very lord and regulator of wrath in all its manifestations across the cosmos.
As an epithet of Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranama, Krodheshvara is a reminder that divine anger is a form of grace, purposeful and ultimately redemptive. Pronounced 'kro-dhesh-va-ra,' the name can be shortened to Krodhesha for a more accessible given-name form.
Scriptural source
Krodheshvara appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
