Sarvahitodraka (सर्वहितोदर्क, IAST: Sarvahitodraka) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He whose ultimate result is good for all”. From sarva (all), hita (welfare, good, beneficial), and udarka (future result, final outcome, ultimate consequence), this name reveals Vishnu as the one whose every act, however mysterious its course, leads ultimately and inevitably to the welfare of all beings.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Udarka, from ud + kṛ (to bring forth, to result), specifically refers to the ultimate consequence or final ripening of actions — thus it is not immediate but eschatological goodness that this name affirms. Hita, from dhā (to place, to bestow), means that which is truly placed for one's benefit; in Sanskrit ethics it is distinguished from priya (what is pleasant) as being what is genuinely beneficial. Vishnu is thus declared to be the cosmic guarantor that the final outcome of all cosmic events, even those that appear harsh, is the universal good.

This name speaks to the Vaiṣṇava theodicy: even apparent suffering in the cosmic drama is ultimately orchestrated by the Lord for the liberation and welfare of all souls. As a name, the shortened Sarvahit — 'welfare of all' — is meaningful and usable.
