Viragini (विरागिणी, IAST: Virāgiṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is free from all attachment and passion”. From vi (without, beyond) and rāga (passion, desire, attachment), this name reveals Lalitā as supremely dispassionate — transcendent of all worldly longing even while governing all creation.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Rāga denotes not only color and music but also the deep emotional coloring of desire and attachment. The prefix vi negates it entirely, indicating that the Goddess abides in perfect equanimity, untouched by craving or aversion.

This epithet points to Lalitā's nature as the absolute witness beyond māyā, inspiring devotees to cultivate vairāgya in their own spiritual lives. Pronounced vi-raa-gi-nee, with a soft aspirated ending.
