Sarvadaivatajivesha (सर्वदैवतजीवेश, IAST: Sarvadaivatajīveśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of all gods and all living beings”. Sarva (all), daivata (divine beings), jīva (living souls), and īśa (lord) converge to proclaim Vishnu as the singular sovereign over every deity and every creature alike.

Meaning, etymology & significance

This majestic compound reveals Vishnu's absolute supremacy: he is not merely one divinity among many but the overarching consciousness in whom the gods themselves find their life-force. The word jīva underscores that his lordship extends beyond celestial beings to every breathing entity across all planes of existence.

As an epithet in the Vishnu Sahasranama, it affirms the Vaishnava theological position that all devas derive their power from Vishnu. The name is pronounced sar-va-dai-va-ta-jī-ve-śa, with the penultimate long ī lending it a solemn cadence.
