Prajapatishathadhipa (प्रजापतिशताधिप, IAST: Prajāpatiśatādhipa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord over hundreds of Prajāpatis, sovereign of creators”. From prajāpati (lord of progeny, cosmic creator), śata (hundred, i.e., countless), and adhipa (ruler, lord), this name proclaims Vishnu as the supreme sovereign who transcends and governs even the highest creator-gods in the Vedic pantheon.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Prajāpatis are the great progenitor-deities of Vedic cosmology, each presiding over vast domains of creation. To be the adhipa (overlord) of hundreds of such beings is to be situated at an ontological level that makes all creative lordship derivative and secondary. This name asserts Vishnu's status as the supreme reality from whom all creative and sustaining powers ultimately flow.
This epithet powerfully encapsulates the Vaishnava theological position of Vishnu's supremacy (paramātman) over all other divine powers. As a personal name it is very long; the essence might be captured in the shorter form Shathadhipa or simply Adhipa for a given name.
Scriptural source
Prajapatishathadhipa appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
