Parilinadvijasutanetra (परिलीनद्विजसुतानेत्र, IAST: Parilīnadvijasutānetra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Guide and eye of the brahmin's son who hid within Him”. From pari (completely) + līna (merged, hidden) + dvija-suta (son of a twice-born brahmin) + netra (eye, guide), this name honors Vishnu as the luminous inner guide who became the very sight of the devoted brahmin's son who took refuge entirely within Him.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The root līna conveys total absorption and refuge, while netra means both the physical eye and a leader or guide, evoking Vishnu as the inner light for those who surrender completely. The dvija-suta, the son of a twice-born brahmin, represents the sincere devotee who dissolves his individual self into the Lord. This name thus celebrates Vishnu's quality of becoming the very faculty of vision and discernment for those who take utter shelter in Him.

This epithet appears in the context of Vishnu's grace upon devoted brahmin families and resonates with the Bhāgavata tradition of prapatti or complete surrender. Its compound form makes it more meaningful as a contemplative epithet than a given name, though Netra alone is a usable short form.
