Liladhanurkotipastadundubhyasthimahachaya (लीलाधनुःकोट्यपास्तदुन्दुभ्यस्थिमहाचय, IAST: Līlādhanuḥkoṭyapāstadundubhyasthimahācaya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Who playfully cast away Dundubhi's mountain of bones with his bow”. This extraordinary compound celebrates the Lord as the one who, in playful sport, used the tip of his bow to effortlessly scatter the enormous heap of bones of the demon Dundubhi, demonstrating superhuman strength to Sugriva.
Meaning, etymology & significance
When Sugriva doubted Rama's strength and suitability as an ally, Rama demonstrated his power by casually flicking with the tip of his bow the massive mound of Dundubhi's bones — bones that Vali had piled up after slaying the buffalo-demon — hurling them far away. The word 'līlā' (divine play, sport) is crucial: it signifies that for the Lord, an act of incomprehensible might is effortless play. 'Mahācaya' refers to the great heap or accumulation, emphasising the enormity of what was so lightly displaced.
This is an elaborate Ramayana-referencing epithet of Vishnu as Rama in the Sahasranama, far too complex a compound for use as a personal given name. It is a devotional address of great narrative richness, beloved by those steeped in the Kishkindha Kanda.
