Anarghyakaivalyapadadayini (अनर्घ्यकैवल्यपददायिनी, IAST: Anarghyakaivalyapadadāyinī) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bestows the priceless state of absolute liberation”. Anarghya (priceless, beyond valuation), kaivalya (absolute liberation, pure aloneness with the Self), pada (state, abode), and dāyinī (she who gives) together proclaim that Lalitā freely grants the highest liberation — a gift whose value transcends all worldly measure.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Anarghya is formed from the negative prefix an- and argha (price, value), signifying something so precious it cannot be assigned a worldly worth. Kaivalya, the ultimate goal in several Indian philosophical traditions, refers to the state of pure, solitary awareness that is the soul's perfect freedom. Pada here means both the 'state' or 'abode' and, poetically, the 'foot' — suggesting that even the dust of this liberation is incomparably precious.

As an epithet of Lalitā, this name assures devotees that the highest liberation is not earned by merit alone but is bestowed as Her sovereign grace. The full compound is too complex for everyday use as a given name; Kaivalya or Kaivalyada are accessible shorter forms that honour the same profound meaning.
