Dharmadharmavivarjita (धर्माधर्मविवर्जिता, IAST: Dharmādharmavivarjitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is beyond both dharma and adharma”. Composed of dharma (righteousness, cosmic order), adharma (its opposite), and vivarjitā (one who is free from, transcending), this name declares Lalitā as the absolute reality that stands beyond all ethical and moral dualities.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Dharma and adharma represent the fundamental moral polarity governing human and cosmic life; to be vivarjitā of both is to abide in a transcendent state that is the ground of all laws without being bound by any. This is not a statement of amorality but of the supreme freedom of the Divine — the Goddess as pure, self-luminous being prior to all distinctions. This epithet resonates with the Upaniṣadic teaching that Brahman is beyond good and evil, being the source of both.

Dharmādharmavivarjitā is a profound philosophical epithet of Lalitā pointing to her nature as the non-dual absolute; its length and doctrinal character make it unsuitable as a given name. Pronounced dhar-maa-dhar-ma-vi-var-ji-taa.
