Shaktyagra (शक्त्यग्र, IAST: śaktyagra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The foremost of all śaktis, supreme among divine powers”. Formed from śakti (divine power, energy) and agra (foremost, highest), this name proclaims that Vishnu stands at the very apex of all śaktis, being the source and summit of every divine power that pervades creation.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Śakti denotes the primal divine energy that animates and sustains the cosmos, and agra indicates being at the forefront or pinnacle of that category. As Śaktyagra, Vishnu is celebrated not merely as a possessor of power but as the very first and highest among all powers — the śakti from which all other śaktis derive their existence and potency. This name has special resonance in the Śākta-Vaishnava synthesis.
This epithet of Vishnu is rare as a personal name and is best understood in its devotional and theological context within the Sahasranama. Pronounced SHAK-tyag-ra, the conjunct 'ktya' requires careful articulation. The feminine dative input (śaktyagrayai) indicates the name was recorded in a feminine dative form, hence needsReview is set appropriately.
Scriptural source
Shaktyagra appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
