Viśvaślāghyāmitācāra (विश्वश्लाघ्यामिताचार, IAST: Viśvaślāghyāmitācāra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “One whose limitless conduct is praised by all worlds”. Composed of viśva (all, universe), ślāghya (praiseworthy), amita (immeasurable, boundless), and ācāra (conduct, comportment), this name honours Viṣṇu as the being whose behaviour is simultaneously beyond measure and universally celebrated.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Ślāghya derives from the root ślāgh (to praise, to commend), while amita from a- and mita (measured) conveys infinitude; together they describe a conduct so exalted that the entire cosmos joins in its acclaim. Ācāra in Sanskrit encompasses ethical practice, righteous way of life, and cosmic dharmic order — Viṣṇu's ācāra is therefore not merely personal virtue but the very standard of righteousness sustaining creation. This epithet is a Purāṇic affirmation that Viṣṇu's divine behaviour is the cosmic template for all dharma.

This multi-word compound functions as a theological epithet rather than a personal name in liturgical usage; its complexity and length render it unsuitable as a given name. Pronounced vish-vah-shlaagh-yaah-mi-TAA-chaa-rah.
