Pulomajarchita (पुलोमजार्चिता, IAST: Pulomajārcitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is worshipped by Indrani, daughter of Puloman”. Formed from 'Pulomajā' (daughter of the asura Puloman, i.e., Śacī-Indrāṇī) and 'arcitā' (worshipped), this name declares that even the queen of the gods bows before Lalitā.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Pulomajā is a celebrated Vedic epithet for Śacī, the consort of Indra, born of the asura Puloman. The suffix 'arcitā' (from the root 'arc,' to worship or honor) conveys that she has been reverentially propitiated. That the sovereign queen of Svarga herself performs this worship underscores Lalitā's supremacy over all divine realms.

This epithet situates Lalitā within the broader Purāṇic cosmos, showing that her devotees include the mightiest of divine consorts. It is more descriptive than personal and is best appreciated in the context of stotrapāṭha rather than as a standalone given name.
