Dadhyannasaktahridaya (दध्यन्नासक्तहृदया, IAST: Dadhyannāsaktahṛdayā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose heart is fond of curd-rice offerings”. Composed of 'dadhyanna' (curd-rice, a sacred food), 'āsakta' (deeply attached or fond of), and 'hṛdayā' (heart), this epithet reveals the tender, accessible side of the Goddess who delights in simple, pure devotional offerings.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Sanskrit 'dadhyanna' joins 'dadhi' (curd) and 'anna' (food/rice), referring to the beloved offering of curd-rice presented to deities in South Indian worship. 'Āsakta-hṛdayā' speaks of a heart genuinely inclined, showing that Lalitā is not remote but intimately moved by sincere, humble offerings. This name teaches devotees that purity of intent in a simple gift reaches the Goddess's own heart.
This epithet of Śrī Lalitā emphasizes her approachability and her acceptance of modest devotional offerings, a theme cherished in the Śrī Vidyā tradition. As a given name it is phonetically unwieldy, though 'Dadhyannā' could serve as a shortened devotional form.
