Tattvasana (तत्त्वासना, IAST: Tattvāsanā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is enthroned upon ultimate reality”. A compound of tattva ('that-ness'; ultimate truth or principle) and āsanā (seat; throne), this name reveals Lalitā as the goddess whose very seat is the totality of cosmic truth — she rests upon reality itself as sovereign queen.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In Śākta Tantra, the thirty-six tattvas form the complete map of existence, from Śiva-tattva at the summit to the five gross elements at the base. For Lalitā to be Tattvāsanā is to declare that she transcends and encompasses every principle, using the full architecture of reality as her throne. This resonates with the Śrī Cakra's structure, which geometrically encodes those same principles in her worship.

This epithet is chiefly a theological statement within the Sahasranāma tradition and is less commonly given as a personal name in everyday usage. A daughter named Tattvasana would carry the profound affirmation that her life is grounded in ultimate truth.
