Mamatāhantri (ममताहन्त्री, IAST: Mamatāhantri) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who slays the sense of 'mine' and possessiveness”. Composed of mamatā (the feeling of 'mine-ness,' possessive attachment) + hantri (she who strikes down, feminine of hantr), this vigorous epithet celebrates Lalitha as the destroyer of the ego's deepest grasping instinct.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Mamatā is the abstract noun form of mama ('mine'), denoting the entire complex of possessive identification — attachment to one's body, family, wealth, and reputation. Hantri, derived from the root han (to strike), names the one who strikes it down. Together they form a martial image of divine grace cutting through the thickest root of worldly bondage.
Mamatāhantri is a compound epithet of Lalitha that directly follows and complements Nirmamā in the Sahasranama, showing both the Goddess's own freedom and her active power to free devotees. As a given name it is somewhat long and compound, but carries a fearless, liberating energy; pronounced ma-ma-TĀ-han-trī.
Scriptural source
Mamatāhantri appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
