Vishvaikavyasanapa (विश्वैकव्यसनाप, IAST: Viśvaikavyasanāpa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Sole remover of the entire world's afflictions”. From viśva (universe), eka (sole), vyasana (calamity, suffering), and apa (away, remover), this name declares that Vishnu alone has the power to take away every affliction that besets creation.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The term vyasana in Sanskrit encompasses addiction, calamity, and deep-seated suffering, making this epithet a proclamation that the Lord removes not only external disasters but also the inner compulsions that bind souls to pain. The qualifier eka (sole) heightens the theological point that no other power in the cosmos can accomplish this removal completely. Meditating on this name is an act of surrender that invites liberation from all forms of bondage.

This epithet appears in Vishnu Sahasranama contexts affirming the Lord's role as universal healer and liberator. As a given name it is long and descriptive, making it more suitable as a devotional title or shortened to a root form like Vyasanapa for everyday use.
