Samastamlechcaduṣṭaghna (समस्तम्लेच्छदुष्टघ्न, IAST: Samastamlechcaduṣṭaghna) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Slayer of all wicked mleccha transgressors”. Samasta (all, entire), mlechcha (those outside Vedic dharma), duṣṭa (the wicked), and ghna (slayer, from han) together describe Viṣṇu-Kalki as the universal destroyer of every form of unrighteousness that has overrun the earth.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The term mlechcha in classical usage denotes peoples or forces outside the pale of Vedic civilisation, while duṣṭa qualifies the morally corrupt among them; the combination samasta-mlechcha-duṣṭa thus points to the comprehensive scope of the Lord's purifying action. As the divine warrior of the final age, Kalki does not discriminate by origin but by adharma, clearing the field for a renewed creation.
This powerful compound epithet is devotionally significant but extremely unwieldy as a personal name; it is best appreciated in liturgical recitation. Pronunciation: sa-mas-ta-mlecc-ha-duṣ-ṭa-ghna.
Scriptural source
Samastamlechcaduṣṭaghna appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
