Shashvataishvarya (शाश्वतैश्वर्या, IAST: Śāśvataiśvaryā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose sovereignty and divine glory are eternal”. A compound of śāśvata (eternal) and aiśvarya (divine lordship, opulence), this name declares that Lalitā's royal power over all existence is not contingent or temporary but is the very ground of being.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Aiśvarya in Sanskrit philosophy denotes the sixfold divine opulence — unlimited knowledge, strength, wealth, fame, beauty, and renunciation — all perfectly and permanently present in the Goddess. By prefixing śāśvata, the Sahasranāma emphasises that her supremacy is not cyclical or conditional; it is the eternal fact underlying all apparent change. Devotees who meditate on this name are invited to surrender worldly striving and rest in her inexhaustible majesty.

This epithet appears in the Lalitā Sahasranāma to distinguish Lalitā's sovereignty from the relative power of other deities who may gain or lose authority across cosmic cycles. As a girl's name Shashvataishvarya is long; Aishvarya or Shashvati serve as practical alternatives.
