Sahasraksha (सहस्राक्ष, IAST: Sahasrākṣa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The thousand-eyed, all-seeing Lord”. From sahasra (thousand) and akṣa (eye), this celebrated Vedic epithet declares that Vishnu perceives all things in all directions simultaneously, his vision encompassing the entire cosmos without limitation.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Sahasrākṣa is one of the most ancient divine epithets in the Vedic tradition, appearing in the Ṛgveda and Atharva Veda. The thousand eyes symbolise omniscience—the Lord witnesses every act, thought, and moment across all realms of existence. In the Vishnu Sahasranāma, this name affirms that no event in creation escapes the sight of the Supreme.
Though also an epithet of Indra in early Vedic texts, within the Sahasranāma it refers to Vishnu's all-pervading awareness; it is pronounced sa-has-raak-sha and is a usable traditional name.

Sahasraksha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
