Prefix
[edit]श्री • (śrī)
- honorific prefix appended to certain names to mean "sacred" or "holy"
- e.g. श्रीदुर्गा (śrī-durgā), श्रीराम (śrī-rāma)
- used as a respectful title (like "Reverend") to the names of eminent persons as well as of celebrated works and sacred objects
- e.g. श्रीजयदेव (śrī-jayadeva)
Usage notes
[edit]This prefix may be repeated two, three, or even four times to express excessive veneration (e.g. श्रीश्रीदुर्गा (śrī-śrī-durgā) etc.). It is often placed at the beginning or back of letters, manuscripts, important documents etc., before the words चरण (caraṇa) and पाद (pāda, “feet”), and even the end of personal names.
