Parasmai Brahma (परस्मैब्रह्म, IAST: Parasmai Brahma) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The supreme, transcendent Brahman itself”. Paras (beyond, supreme) combined with Brahma (the Absolute) declares Vishnu to be not merely a deity but the very pinnacle and ground of all existence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Para means 'other than, higher than, beyond,' and combined with the dative parasmai it emphasises the utter transcendence of the Absolute. Brahman is the undivided, self-luminous reality underlying all phenomena. This compound insists that Vishnu is not one divinity among many but the supreme Brahman itself, beyond all limiting attributes yet intimately present in every created thing.
This is a profound philosophical epithet within the Vishnu Sahasranama, affirming Vishnu's identity with Parabrahman as taught in Vedānta. As a given name it is theologically rich but stylistically heavy; best reserved as a devotional appellation. Pronounced pah-ras-may-brah-mah.
Scriptural source
Parasmai Brahma appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
