Sagaramekhala (सागरमेखला, IAST: Sāgaramekhalā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose girdle is the ocean”. From sāgara (ocean) and mekhalā (girdle, belt, zone), this name poetically depicts the earth herself as Lalithā's form, girdled and encircled by the vast seas.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Mekhalā refers to the ornamental girdle or zone worn at the waist, and sāgara denotes the great ocean. Together, Sāgaramekhalā is a classical poetic image (pratīka) for the earth (bhūmi), whose waist is encircled by the world-ocean. By bearing this name, Lalithā is identified with the totality of the terrestrial world — she is the very ground of existence adorned by the seas as her ornament.
This grand cosmological epithet of Lalithā evokes her identification with Bhūdevī, the earth goddess; as a given name it is uncommon but carries a majestic, nature-rooted resonance. Pronounced sa-ga-ra-me-kha-la.
Scriptural source
Sagaramekhala appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
