Sadatushta (सदातुष्ट, IAST: Sadātuṣṭa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Ever contented, perpetually satisfied”. Derived from sadā (always) and tuṣṭa (pleased, content, gratified), this name reveals Viṣṇu as eternally self-fulfilled, requiring nothing beyond himself for his completeness.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Tuṣṭa shares its root with tuṣ (to be satisfied) and points to a contentment that arises not from acquisition but from intrinsic fullness. This is the divine santoṣa — the absolute satisfaction that is the birthright of the infinite. By meditating on Sadātuṣṭa, devotees are invited to seek inner contentment rather than chasing the endless desires of the conditioned mind.

This epithet of Viṣṇu celebrates his self-sufficiency as the pūrṇa (complete) Supreme Being; while meaningful and beautiful, it is less commonly used as a standalone given name in contemporary practice. Pronounced sa-dā-tuṣ-ṭa, with the retroflex ṭa clearly sounded.
