Samlechchhakotibanaikashushkanirdagdhasagara (समलेच्छकोटिबाणैकशुष्कनिर्दग्धसागर, IAST: Samlechchhakoṭibāṇaikaśuṣkanirdagdhasāgara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He whose single arrows dried and scorched the ocean of mlechha crores”. From sam-mlechha (the assembled barbarian/demonic forces) + koṭi (crores/tens of millions) + bāṇa (arrow) + eka (single/supreme) + śuṣka (dried) + nirdagdha (completely scorched) + sāgara (ocean/multitude), this name proclaims Rama's devastating supremacy in annihilating vast demonic armies.
Meaning, etymology & significance
This powerful epithet portrays Rama's divine marksmanship: a single volley of His arrows was sufficient to dry up (śuṣka) and utterly incinerate (nirdagdha) a teeming ocean-like multitude of millions of demonic warriors. The imagery draws on the Vedic concept of Agni and Vayu combined — fire and wind — inherent in divine arrows, symbolising the Lord's capacity to dissolve adharma completely. The word sāgara here is used metaphorically for an immense, seemingly boundless enemy host.
This epithet honours Vishnu-Rama in His warrior aspect and is found in devotional namavali traditions; as a given name it is unwieldy and is not practically usable. Pronounced sam-lech-chha-ko-ti-baa-nai-ka-shush-ka-nir-dag-dha-saa-ga-ra.
