Sarvashastrartha Gramaviry avan (सर्वशास्त्रार्थग्रामवीर्यवत्, IAST: Sarvaśāstrārthagrāmavīryavat) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Possessing the full power of all scriptural knowledge”. This grand compound — sarva (all) + śāstra (scripture, sacred text) + artha (meaning, purpose) + grāma (collection, totality) + vīryavat (possessing strength and potency) — declares Vishnu to be He in whom the entire collected import and energy of every sacred scripture is fully and perfectly embodied.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Śāstrārthagrāma denotes the totality (grāma, literally village or collection) of the meanings (artha) of all scriptures (śāstra). Vīryavat adds the dimension of virility and potent energy, affirming that Vishnu does not merely contain this knowledge abstractly but is charged with its living force. This epithet thus presents Him as the living embodiment of all revealed wisdom, the very purpose and power of every Veda, Āgama, and sacred text.

As a name for a child this compound is far too lengthy and complex for practical use; it is liturgically recited in namavali contexts as an act of devotion. The pronunciation sarva-śā-strār-tha-grā-ma-vīr-ya-vat spans many syllables, and needsReview is warranted given the density of the compound.
