Shobhanasulabhagati (शोभनासुलभगतिः, IAST: Śobhanāsulabhagatiḥ) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who grants radiant and easily attained liberation”. From śobhanā (radiant, beautiful, auspicious), sulabha (easily obtained), and gati (path, liberation, ultimate goal), this name describes Lalithā as the one who makes the highest spiritual destination gloriously accessible.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The word gati carries deep soteriological weight in Sanskrit, signifying not just movement but the final refuge or ultimate state attained by the soul. By joining it with sulabha (easiness) and śobhanā (splendour), this name tenderly assures seekers that Lalithā herself becomes the luminous and effortless path to liberation. This is the grace that distinguishes the Śākta path: the supreme goal is not a distant austerity but a brilliant gift offered by the loving Goddess.

This compound epithet of Lalithā Tripurasundarī is primarily a liturgical name used during Sahasranāma recitation; as a personal name it is uncommon due to its length, and it is pronounced sho-bha-naa-su-la-bha-GA-ti.
