Shatchakroparisamsthita (षट्चक्रोपरिसंस्थिता, IAST: Ṣaṭcakroparisaṃsthitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is enthroned above the six chakras”. From ṣaṭ (six), chakra (energy wheel), upari (above, beyond), and saṃsthitā (firmly established, dwelling), this name proclaims that Lalitā, as Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, ascends beyond all six lower energy centres to reside in sovereign splendour at the sahasrāra, the crown of all yogic awareness.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The six chakras referenced are mūlādhāra, svādhiṣṭhāna, maṇipūra, anāhata, viśuddhi, and ājñā — the ascending stations of consciousness in tantric yoga. Upari indicates transcendence as much as physical elevation, signalling that the Goddess is not merely above these centres but is their ultimate ground and sovereign. Saṃsthitā, from sthā (to stand, to be established), adds the sense of absolute, unwavering presence.

As an epithet within the Śrī Vidyā tradition, this name is central to meditations on the Goddess's journey through the suṣumnā nāḍī; it is more a doctrinal title than a personal name, though Chakra or Samsthita could inspire derivative names. Pronounce ṣaṭ-chak-ro-pa-ri-saṃ-sthitā carefully, noting the retroflex ṣa at the opening.
