Deshakalaparichchhinna (देशकालापरिच्छिन्ना, IAST: Deśakālāparicchinnā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is unlimited by space and time”. From deśa (place, space), kāla (time), a- (negating prefix), and paricchinnā (bounded, circumscribed), this name proclaims Lalithā as the infinite one who transcends all spatial and temporal limitations.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Paricchinna means 'cut off on all sides, limited, defined by boundaries,' while the prefix a- negates it entirely. Deśa and kāla are the two fundamental co-ordinates of conditioned existence. As Deśakālāparicchinnā, Lalithā is declared absolutely unconditioned — she is not contained within any place or moment, being the very ground from which space and time arise. This name is a pure Vedāntic statement about her infinite, omnipresent nature.

This name beautifully complements her earlier epithet as Brahman-formed, affirming that the Goddess who is Saccidānanda is also unbounded by the universe she creates; it is a compound epithet for stotra use rather than a practical given name. Pronounced de-sha-ka-la-pa-rich-chhin-na.
