INS Aridaman,



भारत बना रहा है दूसरी परमाणु पनडुब्बी INS अरिदमन

Ari-Daman is a Sanskrit composite word.



The meanings are:

Ari = enemy

Daman = suppress/destroy/squash/overwhelm



So Aridaman means "Destroyer of enemy"



Arihant resulted in some resentment from Jain believers, because it is one of the names of God.



IIRC Aridaman is also one of the many names of God in Indic Dharm.
