Saptatalayadhakrshtadhvastapataladanava (सप्तताळव्यधाकृष्टध्वस्तपातालदानव, IAST: Saptatālavyadhākṛṣṭadhvastapātāladānava) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Who pierced seven Tala trees and destroyed the netherworld demon”. This epithet of the Lord as Rama commemorates his feat of piercing seven sala (or tala) trees with a single arrow, which then struck through to the netherworld and destroyed a demon there, proving his might to Sugriva.
Meaning, etymology & significance
To further establish his strength before entering alliance with Sugriva, Rama shot a single arrow that passed through seven great trees and penetrated to the Patala (netherworld), vanquishing the demon dwelling there. 'Saptātāla-vyadha' (piercing seven palm trees), 'ākṛṣṭa' (drawn, pulled — the arrow drawn from the bow), and 'dhvasta-pātāla-dānava' (destroyer of the netherworld demon) together paint a picture of power that is at once grounded in the narrative and transcendent in its implications. This demonstration convinced Sugriva that Rama alone could slay Vali.
This is an elaborate liturgical epithet of Vishnu as Rama, narrating the famous Kishkindha Kanda episode. It is unsuitable as a personal given name but is a cherished Sahasranama address for devotees of the Ramayana tradition.
