Shrishodasaksharividya (श्रीषोडशाक्षरीविद्या, IAST: Śrīṣoḍaśākṣarīvidyā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the sacred sixteen-syllable Śrī Vidyā mantra”. Composed of śrī (auspiciousness), ṣoḍaśa (sixteen), akṣarī (syllabled), and vidyā (sacred knowledge/mantra), this name identifies Lalitā with the supreme Śrī Vidyā mantra in its sixteen-syllable form.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Śrī Vidyā tradition venerates several forms of the root mantra; the ṣoḍaśākṣarī, or sixteen-syllable form, is considered the most complete, incorporating the pañcadaśī along with the praṇava. Lalitā is here not merely the object of the mantra but its living embodiment — she is the vidyā herself.
As a composite doctrinal epithet of Śrī Lalitā, this name is central to the Śrī Vidyā Upāsanā lineage. Due to its length and technical nature, it is rarely used as a standalone given name but carries immense sacred weight.
