Samastadevasarvasva (समस्तदेवसर्वस्व, IAST: Samastadevasarvasva) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The entirety and treasure of all the gods”. From samasta (all, entire), deva (god), and sarvasva (one's everything, all one possesses), this name reveals Vishnu as the supreme treasure whom all the gods collectively worship and in whom all divine power ultimately rests.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Sarvasva, from sarva + the possessive suffix -sva, carries the deeply personal sense of 'all that one holds most dear' — one's very life and being. Applied cosmically, it means that Vishnu is not merely one deity among many but the very essence, wealth, and totality of the entire divine order. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa consistently portrays the gods seeking refuge in Vishnu, recognizing him as their ultimate support and treasury.

This compound name is used in Vaiṣṇava stotra traditions to affirm Vishnu's supremacy over all celestial beings. Shortened to Sarvasva, it can serve as a meaningful, if somewhat unusual, given name; the full compound is best reserved for liturgical recitation.
