Ratipati (रतिपति, IAST: Ratipati) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of Rati; master of divine love and delight”. From rati (love, delight, the goddess Rati) + pati (lord, husband, master), this name in the Sahasranāma context honors Vishnu as the sovereign of all love and bliss, the lord to whom even Rati, the personification of divine pleasure, belongs.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Rati is the consort of Kāmadeva and the divine embodiment of rapture, love, and delight. As Ratipati, Vishnu is proclaimed the ultimate master of that principle — the one in whom all love finds its source, shelter, and fulfillment. In the Vaishnava understanding, the divine love between the Lord and the soul (jīva) is the archetype of all love, and this name points to that supreme relational reality.
Though Ratipati is most commonly an epithet of Kāmadeva in popular usage, the Sahasranāma reclaims it as a title of Vishnu. As a given name for boys, Ratipati is traditional and carries overtones of divine grace and the mastery of love.
Scriptural source
Ratipati appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
