Vajiraja (वाजिराज, IAST: Vājirāja) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “King of horses; sovereign among steeds”. From vāji (horse, vigour) and rāja (king), Vājirāja declares Viṣṇu as the supreme king among all noble steeds, embodying divine speed, vitality, and regal power.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Vāji is an ancient Vedic word for horse, also carrying the sense of strength and food (as in the Vājapeya sacrifice), while rāja means 'king' or 'one who shines.' As Vājirāja, Viṣṇu is honoured as the sovereign of all that is swift, vigorous, and powerful in creation, a title closely related to His identification with the divine horse Uccaiḥśrava. The epithet reflects the Vaishnava understanding that all royal and vital energy in the cosmos is a manifestation of the Lord.
Lord Viṣṇu bears this epithet in the Vishnu Sahasranāma, expressing His lordship over the equine realm and, by extension, over all vitality and speed. Pronounced VAA-ji-RAA-ja, it makes a dignified and pronounceable masculine given name.
Scriptural source
Vajiraja appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
