Śakrādyadhīśvara (शक्राद्यधीश्वर, IAST: Śakrādyadhīśvara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Supreme lord over Indra and all the gods”. Śakra is a celebrated name of Indra meaning the powerful one, ādi denotes and the rest, and adhīśvara means overlord or supreme master, so the full name proclaims Vishnu as the sovereign who governs even the king of the gods.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Adhīśvara is itself composed of adhi (above, over) and īśvara (lord), a title already august, but the inclusion of Śakra and ādi grounds this sovereignty in the specific reality of the Vedic divine court. Vishnu thus stands not merely as one god among many but as the meta-sovereign whose cosmic order all other deities serve and uphold. The name inspires in a son the quality of gentle yet absolute moral leadership.
This epithet of Vishnu is chanted in the Sahasranama to affirm His unchallengeable sovereignty; the shorter Adhīśvara is occasionally used as a given name in devotional communities. Articulate each segment clearly: śa-krā-dya-dhī-śva-ra.
