Mahadbhāgya (महद्भाग्य) refers to “good fortune”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.25. Accordingly as Rāma narrated to Satī:—“[...] O mother Satī, since I have the good fortune of seeing you, there is no doubt that everything will be well with me by your favour. By your blessings I shall have the fortune of acquiring Sītā after killing the demon of evil intention who is the cause of trouble. It is my good fortune (mahadbhāgya) that both of you have taken pity on me. That man who is the object of your mercy is the best of blessed people. [...]”.
