Sudhāvṛṣṭimṛtāśeṣasvasainojjīvanaikakṛt (सुधावृष्टिमृताशेषस्वसैनोज्जीवनैककृत्, IAST: Sudhāvṛṣṭimṛtāśeṣasvasainojjīvanaikakṛt) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Sole doer of revival of all slain allies through a rain of nectar”. This majestic compound — sudhā (divine nectar), vṛṣṭi (shower, rain), mṛta (dead), aśeṣa (all, without remainder), sva-sainya (own army), ujjīvana (resuscitation), eka-kṛt (sole agent) — celebrates Vishnu's miraculous restoration of the entire fallen army through an outpouring of amṛta.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Sudhā (सुधा) is ambrosia or the nectar of immortality; vṛṣṭi (वृष्टि) evokes a rain or torrential shower of that grace. The compound declares that He — and no other — accomplished the complete (aśeṣa) revival (ujjīvana) of His own fallen army (sva-sainya) through this divine downpour. This event, drawn from the Ramayana, underscores that Vishnu's grace is not partial: it restores entirely, leaving none behind.

The episode referred to involves the divine sanjeevani or amṛta-based revival of Rama's monkey army after the devastating battle with Ravana's forces, attributed ultimately to Vishnu's sovereign grace. This name is a profound theological statement in compound form and is intended for stotra recitation rather than personal use.
