Pāyasānnapriyā (पायसान्नप्रिया, IAST: Pāyasānnapriyā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is especially fond of milk-rice offering”. Pāyasa refers to rice cooked in sweetened milk (kheer), anna means food, and priyā means beloved or one who delights in it; together they reveal that Lalitā is particularly pleased by the offering of this sweet, nourishing rice-pudding.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In the naivedya (food offering) ritual of Lalitā worship, pāyasa holds a position of special honor — it is both a sattvic food and one associated with abundance, fertility, and the sweetness of divine grace. That the Goddess herself is called Pāyasānnapriyā tells the devotee that offering this simple preparation with love and purity of heart brings her nearer. It connects the intimacy of the kitchen to the sanctity of the altar.
This name is beloved among families who maintain regular Lalitā pūjā, as it guides the form of devotional offering; pronounced 'Paa-ya-saan-na-pri-yaa', the name's compound nature makes it more a devotional epithet than a common personal name.
Scriptural source
Pāyasānnapriyā appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
