Panchakrtyaparayana (पञ्चकृत्यपरायणा, IAST: Pañcakṛtyaparāyaṇā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Devoted to the five cosmic acts of creation”. Compounded from 'pañca' (five), 'kṛtya' (acts, duties), and 'parāyaṇā' (supremely devoted to, intent upon), this name proclaims Lalitā as the sovereign who governs all five divine operations that sustain the universe.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The five kṛtyas — sṛṣṭi (creation), sthiti (maintenance), saṃhāra (dissolution), tirodhāna (concealment), and anugraha (liberation) — are the complete cycle of cosmic activity in Śaiva-Śākta thought. To be 'parāyaṇā' in these five is to be fully absorbed in them as one's supreme purpose, leaving no cosmic function outside the goddess's jurisdiction. This name thus presents Devī not as a sectarian deity but as the universal ground of all process and change.
Śrī Lalitā bears this epithet to affirm her identity with the complete Śaiva cosmological scheme, functioning simultaneously as creator, preserver, destroyer, veiler, and liberator. Its length and compound nature make it devotionally rich but impractical as a standalone given name.
Scriptural source
Panchakrtyaparayana appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
