VIradarpaghna (वीरदर्पघ्न, IAST: Vīradarpughna) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Destroyer of the arrogance of warriors”. From vīra (hero, warrior), darpa (pride, arrogance), and ghna (slayer, destroyer), the name captures the Lord's mission to humble those whose martial ego had strayed from dharma, restoring humility and sacred order to a world corrupted by kṣatriya pride.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Darpa in Sanskrit denotes not mere pride but an arrogance that blinds one to duty and divine law; ghna, derived from the root han (to strike), marks the Lord as the active instrument of its removal. The warriors slain by Paraśurāma had allowed power to eclipse righteousness, and it was precisely their unchecked darpa that invited divine correction. The name thus encapsulates both a historical narrative and a timeless spiritual teaching.
As an epithet of Viṣṇu in the Paraśurāma avatāra, Vīradarpughna is occasionally used as a masculine given name in traditional Vaiṣṇava families. The name is pronounced vee-rah-dar-pa-gna with the final 'gna' aspirated gently.
Scriptural source
VIradarpaghna appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
