Shatodari (शातोदरी, IAST: Śātodārī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who has a slender, delicate waist”. From śāta (thin, slender, refined) and udara (belly, abdomen), Śātodārī is a classical aesthetic epithet celebrating the exquisite, slender form of the goddess as described in the Lalitha Sahasranama's devotional portrait.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Sanskrit poetics and devotional imagery, the slender waist of the goddess is a standard mark of her incomparable beauty, symbolizing both grace and the mysterious coexistence of delicacy and cosmic power. Śāta carries the connotation of being fine, sharp, and refined, while udara refers to the abdomen. This name belongs to the Dhyāna-śloka tradition, where the physical beauty of the deity is understood as a direct expression of inner spiritual perfection.
Śātodārī is used as an aesthetic epithet of Lalitha Parameśvarī in the Sahasranama and related Śrīvidyā texts. Pronounced shā-to-da-rī, it has a delicate, lyrical sound that reflects its meaning.
