Sarvashreyahpati (सर्वश्रेयःपति, IAST: Sarvaśreyaḥpati) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of all that is auspicious and good”. From sarva (all), śreyas (the highest good, auspiciousness, spiritual welfare — superlative of śrī), and pati (lord, husband, master), this name declares that Vishnu is the sovereign master of every form of well-being, blessing, and ultimate good.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Śreyas, often distinguished from preyas (the pleasant) in Vedantic philosophy, refers to the highest spiritual good — that which is truly beneficial for the soul, even if not immediately pleasurable. Sarva-śreyas therefore encompasses every form of auspiciousness, from worldly prosperity to final liberation. As pati of this totality, Vishnu is the source and guardian of all that is genuinely good in every sphere of existence.

Lord Vishnu is worshipped as Sarvaśreyaḥpati by those who seek not merely worldly blessings but the highest spiritual welfare for themselves and all beings. Pronounced sar-vah-shrey-ah-pah-ti, this compound epithet is more at home in liturgy and meditation than as a given name, though Shreyaspati is a usable shortened form.
