Bhandaputravadhodyuktabalaavikramamanandita (भण्डपुत्रवधोद्युक्तबालाविक्रमनन्दिता, IAST: Bhaṇḍaputravadhodyuktabālāvikramananditā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is delighted by Bālā's valor in slaying Bhaṇḍa's sons”. Bhaṇḍa-putra (sons of the demon Bhaṇḍa), vadhodyukta (engaged in their slaughter), Bālā (the child-goddess, a form of Lalitā herself), vikrama (valor), and nanditā (filled with bliss) — this name reveals Lalitā rejoicing in the triumphant deeds of her own youthful manifestation.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Bālā Tripurasundarī is venerated as the maiden or child-form of Lalitā, representing the fresh, unconquerable creative power of the Goddess; her slaying of Bhaṇḍa's sons is a celebrated episode in the Lalitopākhyāna. Nanditā, from the root nand (to rejoice, to be glad), is a beautiful word implying the deepest inner joy — here it describes Lalitā's bliss as her own younger form achieves victory, like a mother's heart overflowing with pride.

This epithet belongs to Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī alone within the battle narrative of the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa; the compound is not suitable as a given name. The embedded name Bālā, however, is a cherished and usable name in Śākta households, and Nanditā is widely given to Hindu girls.

Scriptural source

Bhandaputravadhodyuktabalaavikramamanandita appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
