Doshavarjita (दोषवर्जिता, IAST: Doṣavarjitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is entirely free from all faults and blemishes”. From doṣa (fault, defect, blemish, impurity) and varjitā (abandoned, free from, completely devoid of), this name declares the Goddess to be utterly and eternally without any imperfection of any kind.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Doṣa encompasses every form of impurity — moral, spiritual, physical, and cosmic — and the Goddess as Doṣavarjitā transcends all of these completely, existing in a state of absolute purity that is the natural luminosity of her divine nature. This is not a purification achieved through effort, as a sādhaka must undergo, but the inherent, beginningless purity of the supreme Śakti herself. Meditating upon this name, the devotee is invited to recognize that the divine mother's very presence has the power to purify whatever comes into contact with her grace.

Doṣavarjitā is a philosophically precise epithet of Lalitā in the Sahasranāma, affirming the absolute perfection of the Goddess beyond all theological or moral qualification. Pronounced do-sha-var-ji-taa, it is a meaningful traditional name with a dignified sound.
