Shuddhavidyaankuraakaaradvijapaanktiidvayojjvala (शुद्धविद्याङ्कुराकारद्विजपङ्क्तिद्वयोज्ज्वला, IAST: Śuddhavidyāṅkurākāradvijapaṅktidvayojjvalā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Whose twin rows of teeth shine like sprouts of pure knowledge”. Combining 'śuddha' (pure), 'vidyā' (knowledge/sacred learning), 'aṅkura' (sprout/shoot), 'ākāra' (form/resembling), 'dvija' (tooth, lit. twice-born), 'paṅkti' (row), 'dvaya' (pair), and 'ujjvalā' (radiant), this nāma declares that Lalitha's two rows of teeth blaze like tender new sprouts of pristine sacred wisdom.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The 'śuddha vidyā' referenced here is not merely philosophical purity but specifically the Śuddha Vidyā tattva, the fifth of the pure cosmic principles in Śaivite and Śākta cosmology — placing Lalitha's very smile within the architecture of the universe. The sprout image ('aṅkura') conveys freshness, potential, and the upward thrust of knowledge breaking through.

This nāma is treasured in the Śrīvidyā tradition for its layered theological meaning beyond physical description; Bhāskarārāya notes the Śuddhavidyā tattva connection explicitly. Its compound length makes it unsuitable as a personal name. Pronunciation: the conjunct 'jjvalā' requires a doubled 'j' sound.
