Bṛhadratha, Mahāvīrya, Sudhṛti, Dhṛṣṭaketu, Haryaśva, Maru — each name signifies a quality (great chariot, great power, firm intellect). Naming children for desired virtues is itself a devotional act.
Reflection Questions
- What 'name-as-aspiration' am I living up to or away from in my own identity?
- Where could naming a quality I want to grow into help me embody it?
