Svargatiprada (स्वर्गतिप्रद, IAST: Svargatiprada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Bestower of the path to heaven”. From svarga (heaven), gati (path or movement), and prada (giver), this name honours Vishnu as the divine grace that opens the celestial way for the devoted soul.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The compound svarga-gati-prada unites three Sanskrit roots: svarga, the luminous realm of the blessed; gati, the movement or course a soul takes after life; and prada, derived from pra-dā, meaning to bestow abundantly. Together they paint Vishnu as the sole sovereign who can redirect a soul's trajectory toward the highest celestial plane.

This epithet appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama tradition, honouring the Lord as the ultimate navigator of post-mortem journeys. Pronounced svar-ga-ti-pra-da, with a short final 'a', it is reverentially melodious in Sanskrit chant.
