Yantramantraikabhanjana (यन्त्रमन्त्रैकभञ्जन, IAST: Yantramantraikabhañjana) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Sole breaker of all yantras and mantras”. From yantra (mystical diagram/device), mantra (sacred syllable/spell), eka (sole), and bhañjana (breaker, destroyer), this name declares Vishnu as the one power that can dissolve every magical construct, whether diagram or sacred formula, when wielded against His divine order.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In the tantric and Purāṇic worldview, yantras and mantras can become instruments of both protection and harm. Demons and sorcerers use them to create invincible armor or to subvert cosmic order. This name asserts that no yantra or mantra — regardless of its potency — can withstand Vishnu's supreme will. It is a name of supreme protection, assuring devotees that Vishnu can neutralize any occult force arrayed against righteousness.

This epithet is particularly invoked in protective (kavaca) recitations and in traditions of nazar-nivāraṇa (warding off evil influences). As a given name, it is too long for common use; Bhañjana or Mantrabhaṅga are shorter alternatives occasionally found in devotional contexts.
