Pashulokhabhayankari (पशुलोकभयङ्करी, IAST: Paśulokabhayaṅkarī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who instills fear in the realm of bound souls”. Composed of 'pashu' (bound soul), 'loka' (realm), and 'bhayaṅkarī' (she who causes fear), this name honors Lalitā as the awesome power that shakes the complacency of those still bound by ignorance.
Meaning, etymology & significance
'Pashu' in Shaiva-Shakta theology denotes a soul fettered by the bonds of ego, karma, and delusion, in contrast to the liberated 'pati.' The name declares that the Goddess's sovereign radiance is terrifying to those still enmeshed in worldly attachment. This divine fear is ultimately salvific — it is the awe that cracks open the ego and turns the soul toward liberation.
As an epithet of Lalitā, it complements Her forms as both nourishing mother and fierce liberator; devotees meditate on this aspect to cultivate humility and spiritual urgency. The name is multi-syllabic and better suited as an epithet than a short given name.
Scriptural source
Pashulokhabhayankari appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
