Yadasampati (यादसांपति, IAST: Yādasāṃpati) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of the ocean-dwelling beings”. From yādas (water-creature, sea-being) and pati (lord, master), this name crowns Vishnu as the sovereign ruler of all creatures inhabiting the cosmic waters.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Yādasāṃpati is a noble compound in which yādas refers to creatures of the deep waters — fish, sea-serpents, and all aquatic life — and pati means lord and protector. This name resonates deeply with Vishnu's identity as Nārāyaṇa, He who reposes on the primordial ocean and from whom all creation emerges. It also connects to His Matsya (fish) avatāra, in which He descended into the cosmic waters to protect life itself.
As an epithet of Vishnu, Yādasāṃpati emphasizes His sovereignty over Varuṇa's watery domain and His protective care for all living beings within it; pronounced YAA-da-saam-pa-ti, it is rare as a personal name but deeply meaningful in devotional usage.
Scriptural source
Yadasampati appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
