Yajnarupa (यज्ञरूपा, IAST: Yajñarūpā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose very form is the sacred yajna sacrifice”. From yajña (Vedic sacrifice, sacred ritual) and rūpā (form, embodiment), this name reveals that Lalitā herself is the totality and inner spirit of all sacrificial worship.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Vedic thought, yajña is not merely ritual fire but the cosmic principle of selfless offering that sustains the universe; the Bhagavad Gītā declares the entire cosmos arises from sacrificial action. By bearing the name Yajñarūpā, Lalitā is identified as the living altar, the sacred fire, the offering, and the recipient all at once — collapsing the distinction between worshipper and worshipped. This name teaches that true worship is not separate from the Goddess but is itself her self-manifestation.
This epithet honours Lalitā's universal identity with Vedic ritual as celebrated in the Lalitā Sahasranāma. Yajñarūpā can serve as a given name with a deeply spiritual resonance; it is pronounced yug-NYAA-roo-paa.
Scriptural source
Yajnarupa appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
