Sarvaratnaika Dohakrit (सर्वरत्नैकदोहकृत्, IAST: Sarvaratnaikadohakṛt) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The sole milker of all precious jewels and riches”. From sarva (all), ratna (jewel, treasure), eka (alone, solely), doha (milking, drawing out), and kṛt (doer, maker), this name proclaims Viṣṇu as the one who alone draws forth every precious treasure from the cosmos for the benefit of all.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The metaphor of milking (doha, from the root duh – to milk) is ancient in the Vedas, where the earth, the cow, and the heavens are spoken of as sources that are 'milked' for prosperity. Sarvaratna refers to all jewels and treasures — material and spiritual — and eka emphasizes that Viṣṇu is the unique and sole agent who extracts and bestows all these riches. This evocative image presents Viṣṇu as the cosmic cowherd of abundance who freely grants all precious gifts to creation.

This lengthy compound epithet is one of the more poetically rich names in the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma and is best appreciated in its full liturgical context. Its length and composite nature make it unsuitable as a standalone given name, though Ratnadoha or simply Ratna could serve as inspired derivations.
