Sarvadaityendradarpaghn (सर्वदैत्येन्द्रदर्पघ्न, IAST: Sarvadaityendradarpaghn) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Destroyer of every demon-king's pride”. Composed of sarva (all), daitya (demon, offspring of Diti), indra (chief/lord), darpa (arrogance/pride), and ghna (slayer), this name proclaims Vishnu as the inexorable vanquisher of the hubris of every lord among the demonic hosts.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Daityas, born of the sage Kaśyapa and Diti, represent the forces of ego, darkness, and opposition to cosmic order; their indras — supremely powerful kings such as Hiraṇyakaśipu and Bali — embody darpa, the swelling pride that challenges dharma. Vishnu's countless avatāras — from Narasiṃha who annihilated Hiraṇyakaśipu's pride to Vāmana who humbled King Bali — enact this quality of darpaghn across cosmic time. The name thus encapsulates the entire Purāṇic narrative of divine grace triumphing over demonic arrogance.

This epithet is celebrated in Vaiṣṇava liturgy as a reminder that no power rooted in ego can ultimately withstand the Lord's will. A shortened name form such as Darpaghn or Daityaghna is more practical for daily use.
