Lankasamulotkarshadadakshina (लङ्कासमूलोत्कर्षदक्षिण, IAST: Laṅkāsamūlotkarṣadakṣiṇa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Supremely skilled in uprooting Lanka completely from its foundations”. From Laṅkā + samūla (by the roots, completely) + utkarṣa (uprooting, elevating/destroying with force) + dakṣiṇa (skilled, dexterous, able), this epithet portrays Rama as the uniquely capable Lord who eradicated the demonic fortress of Lanka root and branch.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word samūla means 'together with the root,' conveying the completeness of destruction — no remnant of adharma was left standing. Utkarṣa, related to the root kṛṣ (to pull, to draw), here implies a forceful uprooting, as if the entire evil edifice of Lanka were torn from the earth like a weed. Dakṣiṇa, beyond its directional meaning of 'south,' carries the sense of one who is supremely deft and accomplished, painting Rama as the master craftsman of cosmic justice.
This composite epithet is used exclusively for Lord Vishnu-Rama in the Sahasranama context and is too extended for practical use as a personal given name. Pronounced lan-kaa-sa-muu-lot-kar-sha-dak-shi-na.
