Bhoginī (भोगिनी, IAST: Bhoginī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the enjoyer and the source of all enjoyment”. From bhoga (enjoyment, experience, prosperity) and the feminine suffix -inī, Bhoginī names Lalitā as the sovereign experiencer of all pleasure and the divine source from whom all worldly and spiritual enjoyment flows.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Bhoga in Sanskrit carries the senses of 'enjoyment,' 'experience,' 'prosperity,' and 'the coils of a serpent,' and the suffix -inī indicates 'she who possesses or embodies' this quality. As Bhoginī, Lalitā is both the supreme enjoyer of her own divine bliss and the generous bestower of joy upon her devotees. The name also alludes to her association with the serpent power (kuṇḍalinī) in tantric cosmology.
Bhoginī appears as an epithet of Lalitā and also of Durgā and Sarasvatī in various texts; it is used as a girl's given name, particularly in South India and Bengal. The g is a soft voiced stop and the final ī is long.
Scriptural source
Bhoginī appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
