Sharmadayini (शर्मदायिनी, IAST: Śarmadāyinī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bestows happiness and spiritual bliss”. From śarma (happiness, shelter, bliss) and dāyinī (feminine form of the giver), this name celebrates Lalitha as the inexhaustible source of divine joy freely given to all who seek her.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word śarma in Sanskrit carries the dual sense of happiness and protective shelter, while dāyinī is the feminine present participial form of dā, meaning to give. As Śarmadāyinī, Lalitha is understood to grant not merely worldly pleasure but the deep, abiding bliss of liberation. Her gift of śarma is considered complete — touching the body, mind, and ātmā of the devotee simultaneously.
This name is used as an epithet of Śrī Lalitha in the Śrīvidyā tradition, extolling her boundless generosity toward her devotees. Pronounced shar-ma-dā-yi-nī, the name carries a gentle, flowing quality that reflects its meaning.
Scriptural source
Sharmadayini appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
