Sarvashastra (सर्वशास्त्र, IAST: Sarvāśāstra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The embodiment of all sacred knowledge and scripture”. From sarva (all) and śāstra (sacred teaching, scripture), this name honours Vishnu as the living totality of all revealed wisdom, the very source from which every scriptural tradition flows.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word śāstra derives from the root śās, meaning 'to instruct or govern,' indicating authoritative sacred teaching. When prefixed with sarva, the compound declares that Vishnu does not merely know all scriptures — he is their animate essence and ultimate referent. The Upanishads affirm that the knower of Brahman becomes Brahman, and this name reflects the identical truth: Vishnu is the boundless scripture that comprehends itself.
As an epithet in the Vishnu Sahasranama, Sarvashastra is revered by scholars and spiritual seekers who see in Vishnu the reconciling unity of all philosophical schools. Pronounced sar-va-śās-tra, with stress on the second syllable, it is better suited as a reverential epithet than a common given name.
Scriptural source
Sarvashastra appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
