Vishvabhokta (विश्वभोक्तृ, IAST: Viśvabhoktṛ) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The enjoyer and sustainer of the entire universe”. From viśva (universe, all) and bhoktṛ (enjoyer, experiencer — from bhuj, 'to enjoy or consume'), this name affirms that Vishnu alone is the ultimate experiencer who pervades and relishes every form of existence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root bhuj carries the dual sense of enjoying and protecting, so bhoktṛ implies both the supreme experiencer who savours creation and the sovereign sustainer who 'consumes' offering and karma on behalf of all beings. Paired with viśva, the name declares that nothing in the universe lies outside the Lord's awareness and delight. The Bhagavad Gita echoes this truth when Krishna declares Himself the bhoktā of all sacrifices.
Lord Vishnu bears this epithet as a reminder that every act of worship ultimately reaches Him as the sole cosmic enjoyer. Pronounced vish-vah-bhok-taa, the name can be adapted as the given name Vishvabhokta or shortened informally to Bhokta in devotional contexts.

Vishvabhokta appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
