Sarvahara (सर्वहर, IAST: Sarvahara) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who withdraws all creation unto Himself”. From sarva (all) and hara (one who takes away, from the root hṛ), this name depicts Viṣṇu as the great cosmic withdrawer who absorbs all existence at the time of dissolution.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root hṛ carries meanings of carrying, taking, and also delighting — so Sarvahara speaks both of universal absorption at pralaya (cosmic dissolution) and of the Lord's capacity to steal away the hearts of all devotees. This epithet aligns Viṣṇu with the absolute sovereignty over time's end, paralleling the role attributed to Śiva as Mahākāla in other traditions, here affirming that Viṣṇu ultimately receives all back into Himself.
Sarvahara is an epithet of Viṣṇu in the Sahasranāma, evoking awe at His final and all-encompassing authority. Pronounced 'Sar-va-HA-ra,' the name is clean, pronounceable, and carries a powerful devotional resonance as a boy's name.
Scriptural source
Sarvahara appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
