Komalāngi (कोमलाङ्गी, IAST: Komalāṅgī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose limbs are tender and delicate”. From Sanskrit komaḷa (soft, tender) and aṅga (limb), this name evokes the Goddess's form as radiantly gentle, each limb luminous with divine softness.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Komalāṅgī is composed of komaḷa, meaning delicate or tender, and aṅgī, a feminine suffix denoting one who possesses such limbs. In the Lalitā Sahasranāma, the Goddess is celebrated not only for her supreme power but also for her incomparable grace of form. Her tender limbs are understood as a symbol of her compassionate accessibility to devotees.

This epithet belongs to Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī, who is extolled throughout the stotra for the ethereal beauty of her divine body. Pronounced koh-mah-LAAN-gee, with the soft retroflex ṅg sound.
