Sadaputa (सदापूत, IAST: Sadāpūta) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Ever pure, perpetually purified”. Composed of sadā (always) and pūta (purified, cleansed, sanctified), this name honors Viṣṇu as the eternally immaculate one whose very touch and name purify all who come before him.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Pūta derives from the root pū (to purify, to cleanse) and is one of the great Vedic concepts — it is the quality that makes something ritually and spiritually fit. As Sadāpūta, Viṣṇu transcends all impurity absolutely and permanently, making him the supreme pāvana, the purifier of all devotees. The tradition holds that even uttering his name once removes generations of karmic accumulation.

Sadāpūta is a devotional epithet found in Vaiṣṇava stotra literature and is related in spirit to the famous name Pāvanāgrya (index 326); it is rarely used as a standalone given name but carries great spiritual weight. Pronounced sa-dā-pū-ta, with the long ū held briefly.
