Mantrinyambaavirachitavishamgavadhathoshita (मन्त्रिण्यम्बाविरचितविशङ्गवधतोषिता, IAST: Mantriṇyambāviracitaviśaṅgavadhatoṣitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She pleased by Mantriṇī Ambā's slaying of Viśaṅga”. Mantriṇī Ambā is the minister-goddess Śyāmalā in her role as divine mother; viracita means 'accomplished' or 'wrought'; Viśaṅga is a named demon-general of Bhaṇḍa; and toṣitā means 'made satisfied and pleased' — revealing Lalitā's deep contentment at her minister's heroic deed.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Viśaṅga is identified in the Lalitopākhyāna as one of Bhaṇḍāsura's chief commanders, and Mantriṇī Ambā — the maternal, wise, musical form of the Goddess serving as Lalitā's prime minister — accomplishes his destruction through the power of mantra and supreme intelligence. Toṣitā (from tuṣ, to be satisfied, to be pleased) conveys a serene and complete satisfaction, the joy of the sovereign-queen whose beloved minister has fulfilled her duty with excellence.

This epithet is singular to Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī in the Lalitā Sahasranāma's narrative section and is not usable as a standalone personal name. The component names Mantriṇī and Toṣitā (or Tuṣṭi) are both theologically meaningful and occasionally used as devotional names for girls.
