Savyasachivara Prada (सव्यसाचिवरप्रद, IAST: Savyasācivara Pradā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Granter of the boon to Savyasachi (Arjuna)”. From savyasācin (Arjuna, the ambidextrous archer), vara (boon), and prada (giver), this name celebrates Vishnu-Krishna's supreme generosity in bestowing unequalled gifts upon His devoted friend Arjuna.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Savyasācin is one of the most celebrated epithets of Arjuna, meaning 'one who draws the bow with the left hand as well as the right,' signifying his matchless skill. Vara means a cherished boon, and prada (from pra-dā) means the generous bestower. This composite name thus honours the Lord's intimate bond with Arjuna — a relationship of divine friendship in which Krishna lavished extraordinary grace, culminating in the revelation of the Bhagavad Gītā itself.

Vishnu is extolled by this epithet within the Sahasranama to remind devotees that the Lord withholds no blessing from a surrendered heart. As a personal name it is complex; it may be respectfully shortened. Pronounced sav-ya-saa-chi-va-ra-pra-daa.
