Sakalāgamasandohaśuktisampuṭamauktikā (सकलागमसन्दोहशुक्तिसम्पुटमौक्तिकā, IAST: Sakalāgamasandohaśuktisampuṭamauktikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the pearl within the oyster-shell of all Āgamas”. From sakala (all), āgama (sacred tantric/Vedic scriptures), sandoha (collection, abundance), śukti (oyster shell), sampuṭa (a closed casket or paired shells), and mauktikā (pearl), Lalitā is the precious pearl of wisdom enshrined within the vast treasury of all sacred scriptures.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The metaphor is exquisitely crafted: the entire corpus of āgamic scriptures—all tantras, vedas, and sacred traditions—are likened to oyster shells (śukti-sampuṭa), and Lalitā herself is the luminous pearl (mauktikā) hidden within. Sandoha means 'an abundance' or 'collection,' emphasizing the totality of all scriptural revelation. She is thus not merely described by scripture but is the very essence and jewel that scripture exists to reveal.

This epithet from the Lalitā Sahasranāma is too expansive for use as a given name but inspires the shorter devotional name Mauktikā, meaning 'pearl,' which is used as a girl's name in traditional Hindu families. Pronounce mauktikā with the diphthong au and a clear retroflex ṭ.
