Shakra-divya-mohana-rupa-da (शक्रदिव्यमोहनरूपद, IAST: Śakradivyamohanarūpada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Bestower of Indra's enchanting celestial form”. This compound brings together śakra (Indra, the king of the gods), divya (divine, celestial), mohana (enchanting, fascinating), rūpa (form, appearance), and da (giver), celebrating Vishnu as the one who grants supremely enchanting divine forms even to the lord of heaven.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Śakra is an ancient Vedic name for Indra, the powerful sovereign of the devas, and mohana-rūpa is the form so beautiful it captivates all beholders. By calling Vishnu Śakradivyamohanarūpada, the Sahasranāma affirms that even Indra's legendary celestial radiance is a gift that flows from the Supreme Lord's grace. This name reflects Vishnu's role as the ultimate source of all divine beauty and cosmic splendor.

Though magnificent as a theological statement, this multi-word compound is not practical as a standalone given name and is best appreciated as a liturgical epithet within namāvalī recitation. Pronounced shak-ra-div-ya-mo-ha-na-roo-pa-da, it should be chanted slowly to honor each syllable.
