Kshayavriddhi Vinirmukta (क्षयवृद्धिविनिर्मुक्ता, IAST: Kṣayavṛddhivinirmuktā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is free from all decay and growth”. From kṣaya (diminution, decay), vṛddhi (increase, growth), and vinirmuktā (completely liberated from), this name affirms that Lalithā, as absolute consciousness, stands utterly beyond the cycles of waxing and waning that govern all conditioned existence.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Kṣaya and vṛddhi together represent the fundamental oscillation of the phenomenal world — the moon waxes and wanes, empires rise and fall, bodies age — yet the Goddess as pure Śiva-Śakti consciousness is untouched by these rhythms. Vinirmuktā (from vi + nis + muc, to be thoroughly released) is a strong compound asserting complete and absolute freedom.

This epithet belongs to a series in the Sahasranāma affirming Lalithā's transcendence over all dualities; as a lengthy compound it functions as a theological statement rather than a given name, pronounced ksha-ya-vriddh-hi-vi-nir-muk-TAA.
