Ostragra (ओष्ट्राग्र, IAST: Oṣṭrāgra) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Foremost among the excellent; tip of the best”. Oṣṭrāgra appears to derive from agra (foremost, supreme tip) with a qualifying prefix, signifying Viṣṇu as the absolute pinnacle of all that is highest and most excellent.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The element agra means 'front,' 'tip,' or 'foremost,' frequently used in Sanskrit to denote supremacy; the prefixed form here elevates that sense to indicate the very apex of divine excellence. This rare epithet in the Sahasranāma points to Viṣṇu's unrivalled position as the summit of all created and uncreated being. Commentators understand it as affirming that no quality, virtue, or power exists beyond the horizon of the Lord Himself.
This epithet is borne by Viṣṇu in the Vishnu Sahasranāma and is rarely encountered as a personal name in modern usage. Pronounced ohsh-TRAA-gra, it carries an archaic, scriptural dignity that makes it suitable for traditional or scholarly communities.
Scriptural source
Ostragra appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
