Mithyājagadadhiṣṭhānā (मिथ्याजगदधिष्ठाना, IAST: Mithyājagadadhiṣṭhānā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the true substratum of the apparent world”. From mithyā (the phenomenal world's apparent but non-absolute reality), jagat (the moving world), and adhiṣṭhānā (the foundational substratum), this name reveals Lalitā as the sole real ground upon which the illusory universe appears.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Mithyā in Advaita Vedānta does not mean 'false' in an absolute sense but denotes that which is neither ultimately real nor utterly non-existent — the world as it appears through māyā. Jagat is the ever-changing cosmos, and adhiṣṭhānā is the unchanging substratum on which an appearance rests. Together the name proclaims that Lalitā is the pure, immutable consciousness that underlies and supports the entire apparent creation.
This philosophical compound is one of the most theologically rich epithets in the Sahasranāma, beloved in Advaita-inflected Śākta commentary. Its length makes it unsuitable as a personal name. Pronounced mith-yaa-jah-gad-ah-dheesh-THAA-naa.
Scriptural source
Mithyājagadadhiṣṭhānā appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
