— Shadadhvatitarupini

Shadadhvatitarupini (षडध्वातीतरूपिणी, IAST: Ṣaḍadhvātītarūpiṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose form transcends the six cosmic pathways”. From ṣaḍ (six), adhvan (path, way), atīta (transcending, gone beyond), and rūpiṇī (she whose form is), this name declares Lalitā as the transcendent reality beyond all six pathways of tantric cosmology.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In Śaiva-Śākta tantra, the six adhvans (paths) are the complete map of manifestation: three relating to śabda (sound) — varṇa, pada, mantra — and three to artha (form) — kalā, tattva, bhuvana. Together they constitute the totality of the cosmos. Lalitā as Ṣaḍadhvātītarūpiṇī pervades and yet utterly transcends even this complete cosmic structure, resting in her own unlimited nature.

This highly technical tantric epithet belongs exclusively to Lalitā in the Sahasranāma and signals her status as Parābrahman. Pronounced 'shud-ud-hwaa-tee-tuh-roo-pi-nee'; a philosophically magnificent but complex name, unsuitable as a given name.

Scriptural source

Shadadhvatitarupini appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
