Sarvadrish (सर्वदृश्, IAST: Sarvadṛś) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The all-seeing, whose vision encompasses everything”. From sarva (all) and dṛś (seeing, vision), this name declares Vishnu to be the cosmic eye whose sight is boundless, perceiving simultaneously every particle of existence across all realms and all time.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The root dṛś means 'to see' in the most fundamental sense, and in compound it forms the agent noun 'one who sees.' Unlike ordinary vision that is limited by distance and form, Vishnu's divine sight is described in the Bhagavata Purana as penetrating every veil of māyā, beholding souls in their true radiance. This name thus celebrates not mere omniscience but a vision suffused with divine love — the Lord sees all, and in seeing all, he upholds all.

Sarvadrish appears as a powerful epithet of Vishnu in the Sahasranama tradition, reminding the devotee that no sorrow or prayer goes unseen by the Lord. Pronounced sar-va-dṛś, the final consonant cluster is sometimes softened to Sarvadrishi in spoken usage, which also serves as a usable given name.
