Vijnatri (विज्ञात्री, IAST: Vijñātrī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the knower of all, the supreme cogniser”. From vi + jñā (to know with full discernment) and the feminine agent suffix -trī, this name honours Lalitā as the ultimate subject of knowledge — the awareness in which all knowing arises and by which all is known.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Sanskrit epistemology, jñātṛ is the knower as distinct from jñeya (the known) and jñāna (the knowing itself); the prefix vi intensifies this to vijñātṛ, indicating complete, penetrating, or special knowledge. This name places Lalitā at the very summit of cognition — she does not merely possess knowledge but is its eternal source and ground. Tantric texts affirm that she is the cit-śakti, the power of consciousness, through whom all creatures gain their capacity to know.
Vijñātrī is an epithet of Lalitā that pairs naturally with vedyavarjitā (name 652), together expressing that she knows all yet herself remains beyond being known. Vijnatri or Vignatri can function as a given name, carrying the devotional sense of 'one who truly understands.'
Scriptural source
Vijnatri appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
