Sarvāmarārcita (सर्वामरार्चित, IAST: Sarvāmarārcita) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Worshipped by all the immortal gods”. From sarva (all), amara (immortal, i.e. the gods), and arcita (worshipped, honored, from √arc), this name proclaims that without exception every divine being in the cosmos offers reverence to Vishnu as the supreme.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Amara (अमर) literally means 'not subject to death,' a standard Sanskrit designation for the deva class; arcita (अर्चित) is the past passive participle of √arc, to worship or adore, carrying connotations of ritualistic honor, garlands, and hymns. The qualifier sarva (सर्व, all) leaves no celestial being outside the circle of Vishnu's worshippers, placing Him at the apex of the entire divine hierarchy.

Sarvāmarārcita echoes descriptions in the Bhagavata Purana where the entire assembly of gods prostrates before Vishnu in the celestial regions; it also resonates with the Vishnu Sahasranama itself, which is recited by Bhishma as a supreme act of reverence. As a given name, the abbreviated form Amarārcita is more workable, though the full compound remains devotionally potent.
