Mahachatuhshashtikotiyoginiganaservita (महाचतुःषष्टिकोटियोगिनीगणसेविता, IAST: Mahācatuḥṣaṣṭikoṭiyoginīgaṇasevitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She served by millions of yoginī hosts from all sixty-four great groups”. This magnificent compound honors Lalitā as the supreme sovereign attended upon by the countless hosts of yoginīs — divine feminine powers numbering in the hundreds of millions — who are organized into sixty-four great clans.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The sixty-four koṭis (tens of millions) of yoginīs organized into sixty-four gaṇas (groups or clans) represent the totality of divine feminine power radiating from Lalitā in every direction and dimension of the cosmos. Each yoginī embodies a specific aspect of her energy — from the fierce to the gentle, from the knowledge-bestowing to the liberation-granting — and together they form the magnificent retinue of the supreme Goddess. The word sevitā, meaning 'served' or 'attended upon,' reveals that all these immense divine energies exist in joyful, loving service to Lalitā.

This epithet reflects the rich yoginī-tantra tradition of the Śākta Āgamas, where the entire cosmos is envisioned as Lalitā's royal court. As a personal name this compound is too elaborate for practical use; pronounced mah-haa-chuh-tuḥ-shash-tee-koh-tee-yoh-gi-nee-guh-nuh-seh-vi-taa.
