Nāmapārāyaṇaprītā (नामपारायणप्रीता, IAST: Nāmapārāyaṇaprītā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is delighted by the recitation of her names”. From nāma (name), pārāyaṇa (complete recitation or study), and prītā (one who is pleased or delighted), this name affirms that the joyful reading of this very stotra pleases the Goddess herself.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Nāmapārāyaṇa refers to the devout and complete recitation of a collection of divine names, precisely what the Sahasranāma invites. Prītā is the past passive participle of prī, to be pleased or gladdened. The inclusion of this name within the stotra is therefore a beautiful self-referential blessing: Lalitā herself rejoices when her devotees lovingly chant these very thousand names.
This compound epithet is doctrinally significant as it validates the spiritual efficacy of namāvalī recitation and is cited in commentaries on the Sahasranāma. As a given name it is unwieldy; its value is devotional and theological. Pronounced NAA-mah-paa-raa-ya-nah-PREE-taa.
Scriptural source
Nāmapārāyaṇaprītā appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
