Heyopadeyavarjita (हेयोपादेयवर्जिता, IAST: Heyopādeyavarjitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She beyond all rejection and acceptance, utterly transcendent”. A compound of 'heya' (to be rejected), 'upādeya' (to be accepted), and 'varjitā' (free from), this name declares that Lalitā transcends all dualistic categories of desirable and undesirable, standing as the absolute beyond all relative distinctions.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In Vedāntic and Śākta philosophy, 'heya' refers to that which is to be discarded or avoided, while 'upādeya' refers to that which is to be adopted or pursued. The Goddess, as supreme Brahman-Śakti, is 'varjitā'—completely free from both categories—because she is the non-dual ground in which all such distinctions dissolve. This name is a profound philosophical statement about her absolute, unconditioned nature.

This compound epithet of Lalitā Tripurasundarī is deeply philosophical and is more commonly encountered in scholarly commentary than in daily devotional address. As a given name it is very lengthy and complex, making it better suited as a stotra epithet than a personal name.
