Sarvayantrātmikā (सर्वयन्त्रात्मिका, IAST: Sarvayantrātmikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the soul of all sacred yantras”. From sarva (all), yantra (sacred geometric instrument), and ātmikā (one whose ātman or essence is), this name declares that Lalitā is the living consciousness that animates every ritual diagram and geometric form.

Meaning, etymology & significance

A yantra is a sacred geometric device — typically drawn, engraved, or visualized — used as a focal point for divine energy in tantric worship; the Śrī Yantra or Śrī Cakra is the foremost among them and is considered the very body of Lalitā. Sarvayantrātmikā therefore states that she is not merely represented by the Śrī Yantra but is the indwelling soul of every yantra across all traditions.

This epithet holds deep significance in Śrī Vidyā sādhanā, where the worship of the Śrī Cakra is understood as worship of the Devī's geometric body. As a personal name it is too compound for daily use, but it is recited with great reverence in daily pārāyaṇa of the Sahasranāma.
