Vedarthashrutigopaka (वेदार्थश्रुतिगोपक, IAST: Vedārthaśrutigopaka) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Protector of the meaning and revelation of the Vedas”. From vedārtha (the meaning and purpose of the Vedas), śruti (sacred revelation, what is heard), and gopaka (guardian, protector), this name honors Viṣṇu as the eternal custodian of revealed scriptural truth.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Vedārtha combines veda with artha, meaning purpose or meaning, while śruti, 'that which is heard,' is the classical term for the revealed scriptures. Gopaka derives from gup, to protect or conceal for safekeeping. As Vedārthaśrutigopaka, Viṣṇu not only preserves the words of the Vedas across cosmic cycles but ensures their inner meaning remains accessible to sincere seekers through teachers, avatāras, and the living tradition.
This epithet glorifies Viṣṇu as the source and guardian of the śruti tradition, reinforcing his identification with the Vedas themselves as stated in the Gītā. As a compound name it is primarily liturgical. Pronounced vay-dār-tha-śroo-ti-go-puh-kuh.
Scriptural source
Vedarthashrutigopaka appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
