Niṣekasādhya (निषेकसाध्य) refers to “that which can be achieved through the discharge of the semen”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Lord Viṣṇu said to Brahmā: “[...] If any one separates the copulated pair by a tricky expedient, he will have the pangs of separation from his wife and sons in every birth. He will fall from perfect wisdom. [...] Everything can be achieved through the discharge of the semen (niṣekasādhya). O Brahmā, the process of discharge is very effective. The discharge that is fruitful none can withhold. [...]”.
