Varadanishevita (वरदादिनिषेविता, IAST: Varadādiniṣevitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is served by Varadā and other shaktis”. From 'varadā' (the boon-granting goddess), 'ādi' (and others), and 'niṣevitā' (attended, served reverently), this name portrays Lalitā as the supreme sovereign waited upon by Varadā and her sisterhood of attendant shaktis.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Varadā is among the named attendant shaktis of Lalitā, her very name meaning 'giver of boons,' derived from 'vara' (boon, excellent) and 'dā' (to give). That such a generous power herself serves Lalitā reveals the hierarchical grandeur of the Mahādevī, who stands beyond even the dispensers of grace. 'Niṣevitā,' from 'ni-sev' (to serve, to attend upon), conveys devotion of the highest order.

This epithet from the Lalitā Sahasranāma places Lalitā at the apex of a celestial court of shaktis, each embodying a divine quality. 'Varadā' alone is a beautiful, usable girl's name meaning 'bestower of boons,' and stands independently in the Hindu naming tradition.

Scriptural source

Varadanishevita appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
