Rajatkrupa (राजत्कृपा, IAST: Rājatkṛpā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose compassion shines and radiates gloriously”. From rājat (shining, gleaming, present participle of rāj — to shine) and kṛpā (compassion, grace), this name portrays Lalithā as one whose mercy is not merely felt but blazes forth as a visible, luminous splendour.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The participial rājat conveys an active, ongoing radiance — her compassion is not static but ever-shining, like the sun that never ceases to pour forth its light. In the Śākta framework, kṛpā is the very medium through which liberation is transmitted from Goddess to devotee, and that grace is here described as effulgent, dazzling, impossible to miss. The name is a devotee's testimony to the experience of her overwhelming, brilliant mercy.

This evocative epithet of Lalithā speaks to the mystical experience of her grace as a tangible inner radiance described by sages and yogīs; pronounced raa-jat-KRIH-paa.
