Haribrahmendrasevitā (हरिब्रह्मेन्द्रसेविता, IAST: Haribrahmendrasevitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is served by Viṣṇu, Brahmā, and Indra”. From Hari (Viṣṇu), Brahmā (the creator), Indra (king of the gods), and sevitā (she who is served or worshipped), this name establishes Lalitā's supremacy over the entire divine hierarchy of the Hindu cosmos.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Hari is a celebrated name of Viṣṇu the preserver, Brahmā is the creator deity, and Indra is the lord of the heavens; sevitā means 'served,' 'worshipped,' or 'attended upon.' That these three highest divinities bow in service to Lalitā affirms her as the pāraśakti—the supreme power that undergirds and surpasses even the greatest of gods. This is a recurring theme in Śākta theology: the Goddess is not subordinate to the gods but their very source.

This epithet belongs to Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī in the Lalitā Sahasranāma and is too compound for use as a given name; devotees sometimes use the shorter Sevitā as a name meaning 'the worshipped one.' Pronounce sevitā with equal stress on all three syllables and a clear long ā at the close.
