Triyuga (त्रियुग, IAST: Triyuga) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who manifests across three yugas”. From tri (three) and yuga (cosmic age, epoch), this name designates Viṣṇu as the Lord who is fully manifest in Satya, Tretā, and Dvāpara yugas, while remaining hidden in the Kali age — a mystery elaborated in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (7.15.69) explains that Viṣṇu is called Triyuga because dharma flourishes openly in three of the four cosmic ages through his visible presence and avatāras, while in the Kali yuga he moves in a concealed manner, known only through the gift of devotion. Commentators such as Śrīdhara Svāmī note that this name contains a profound eschatological promise — that the Lord's mercy, though less visible in the current age, is no less real. Some traditions interpret Triyuga as he who transcends the tripartite division of time itself.
Triyuga is an ancient epithet of Viṣṇu found in both the Mahābhārata and Purāṇic literature; it is occasionally given as a given name in Vaiṣṇava families and carries a strong, dignified sound. Pronounced tri-yu-ga, with a crisp tri and an open final syllable.
Scriptural source
Triyuga appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
