Kshobhini (क्षोभिणी, IAST: Kṣobhiṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who agitates or stirs cosmic creation”. From the root kṣubh (to agitate, to churn), Kṣobhiṇī names the Goddess as the divine power who stirs the primordial stillness into the vibrant motion of manifestation.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root kṣubh carries the sense of a purposeful, creative disturbance — not chaos, but the sacred churning that precedes all arising. As Kṣobhiṇī, Lalitā is the śakti who initiates movement within the unmanifest, setting the cosmos into its living dance. She is thus honored as the very impulse behind creation's first stirring.
This name appears in the Lalitā Sahasranāma as an epithet of the Mahātripurasundarī, honoring her as the primordial mover; the name is pronounced 'Kshoh-bhi-nee' with a short 'i' at the close.
Scriptural source
Kshobhini appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
