Sarvatantrarūpā (सर्वतन्त्ररूपा, IAST: Sarvatantrarūpā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose form encompasses all tantric traditions”. From sarva (all), tantra (sacred system of practice and knowledge), and rūpā (having the form of), this name honors Lalitā as the living embodiment of the entire spectrum of tantric wisdom.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Tantra in its original Sanskrit sense means 'loom' or 'that which expands knowledge' — it denotes a comprehensive system of sacred science linking cosmology, ritual, yoga, and mantra. Sarvatantrarūpā declares that Lalitā does not belong to one school or lineage but is the very form within which all such systems have their being and validity.

This name is particularly significant in the Śākta-Śaiva synthesis, acknowledging that the Devī is the source-reality from which the sixty-four tantric āgamas and numerous subsidiary texts emerge. As a given name it is philosophical in character and somewhat unwieldy, though it is recited with deep reverence in traditional Śrī Vidyā communities.
