Rajivalochana (राजीवलोचना, IAST: Rājīvalochanā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose eyes are like blue lotuses”. A dvandva-style compound of 'rājīva' (the blue or red lotus, Nelumbo nucifera) and 'lochanā' (eyes, from 'loc', to see), this name paints a vivid image of Lalitā's eyes as breathtakingly beautiful as freshly bloomed lotuses.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Sanskrit poetics, the lotus is the supreme symbol of beauty, purity, and auspiciousness, and comparing divine or royal eyes to lotuses is among the most ancient and beloved of all metaphors. 'Rājīva' specifically denotes a variety of lotus with wide, luminous petals, making the comparison especially apt for eyes that are large, serene, and radiant. As an epithet of Lalitā, it evokes the captivating, grace-filled gaze of the Goddess that both enchants and liberates.
Rājīvalocanā is used as an epithet for several deities including Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī, and here describes Lalitā Tripurasundarī in the Sahasranāma. Pronounced 'Raa-jee-vuh-lo-chuh-naa', the name can be shortened to 'Rajiva' for everyday use.
Scriptural source
Rajivalochana appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
