Panchabrahmasvarupini (पञ्चब्रह्मस्वरूपिणी, IAST: Pañcabrahmasvarūpiṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose nature embodies the five Brahmas”. From pañca (five), brahma (the Absolute, also referring to the five forms of Śiva), and svarūpiṇī (one whose very nature is), this name declares that Lalitā is herself the essence of the fivefold supreme reality.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The five Brahmas refer to the five forms of Sadāśiva — Sadyojāta, Vāmadeva, Aghora, Tatpuruṣa, and Īśāna — each presiding over a cosmic function and direction. By declaring the Goddess to be svarūpiṇī of all five, the Sahasranāma asserts that she is the innermost reality and source from which these divine principles themselves emerge. This is a cornerstone teaching of non-dual Śāktism: the Devī is not separate from Brahman but is Brahman itself in its fullest expression.

Pañcabrahmasvarūpiṇī is a revered philosophical epithet of Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī; because of its compound length and doctrinal depth, it is employed devotionally rather than as a given name. Pronounced pan-cha-brah-ma-sva-roo-pi-nee.
