Shrutisanstutavaibhava (श्रुतिसंस्तुतवैभवा, IAST: Śrutisaṃstutavaibhavā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose glory is extolled by the Vedic scriptures”. Śruti (the Vedas, 'that which is heard'), saṃstuta (well-praised, thoroughly glorified — from sam + stu), and vaibhava (glory, splendour, sovereign magnificence) together proclaim that Lalitā's greatness is not a human invention but is resoundingly celebrated by the eternal revelatory scriptures themselves.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In Indian tradition, śruti refers to the Vedas — the primordial revelations 'heard' by the ṛṣis. That the Devī's vaibhava (a word conveying both splendour and the full sweep of Her divine powers) is praised within these eternal texts places Her at the very heart of the Vedic vision. The prefix sam- in saṃstuta intensifies the praise: not merely mentioned but thoroughly, completely glorified.

This name of Lalitā bridges the Tantric and Vedic streams of Hindu devotion, affirming that her glory is not sectarian but universally acknowledged by revealed scripture. As a given name the compound is long; Vaibhava or Vaibhavi is the accessible form that captures the core meaning of 'glorious one.'
