Bhagavatī (Devanagari: भगवती, IAST: Bhagavatī), is an Indian epithet of Sanskrit origin, used as an honorific title for goddesses in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, it is primarily used to address the goddesses Durga and Lakshmi. In Buddhism, it is used to refer to several Mahayana Buddhist female deities, like Cundā.[1]
The male equivalent of Bhagavatī is Bhagavān.[2][3] The term is an equivalent of Devi and Ishvari.
