Sarvavyadhiprashamani (सर्वव्याधिप्रशमनी, IAST: Sarvavyādhipraśamanī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who pacifies and heals all diseases”. Composed of 'sarva' (all), 'vyādhi' (disease, suffering), and 'praśamanī' (she who calms or eradicates), this name reveals Lalitā as the divine healer whose grace brings peace to every form of bodily and mental affliction.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Sanskrit 'vyādhi' encompasses physical illness, mental distress, and the existential suffering born of ignorance, while 'praśamanī' derives from the root 'śam' (to be calm, to become still, to cease), with the causative sense of 'she who causes to cease.' As Sarvavyādhipraśamanī, the Devī's grace is understood in the tradition to operate on all planes simultaneously — body, mind, and spirit.

This healing epithet is particularly invoked in times of sickness and is found in many devotional prayers to Lalitā alongside other epithets of her protective power. As a compound, it is more suited to devotional recitation than to use as a given name.
