Vrishendra (वृषेन्द्र, IAST: Vṛṣendra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of the bull, chief of righteousness”. From vṛṣa (bull, as a symbol of dharma and strength) and indra (lord, chief), Vṛṣendra salutes Vishnu as the paramount lord among those who embody and uphold dharma, the bull being a universal Vedic symbol of virile righteousness.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Vedic symbolism, the bull (vṛṣa) represents not merely physical power but the generative force of dharma — the potency that sustains the moral and cosmic order. Indra, meaning the highest or most excellent, here elevates Vishnu above all others who walk the path of righteousness. The name can thus be read as 'the supreme among the righteous' or 'the lord of dharmic strength,' celebrating Vishnu's unrivalled supremacy in both cosmic governance and ethical excellence.
Vṛṣendra appears in Vaishnava stotra literature and is a dignified, resonant name for a boy, evoking both nobility and devotion to righteousness. Pronounced vri-shen-dra, with stress on the second syllable, it is a strong and usable given name in the Vrishaindra or Vrishendra spelling.
Scriptural source
Vrishendra appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
