Uḍḍīya (उड्डीय) (=Oḍḍīya) means having “flown up”, according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā.—Accordingly, “[...] Then, in the terrible Age of Strife she, the three-eyed (goddess) Maṅgalā, descended into the Northern Cave (uttaragahvara) in the district (viṣaya) of Odyāna. Siddhanātha also (descended) there into (his spiritual) lineage (santati). Having thus flown up (oḍḍīya) in the body he obtained lordship and so is famous in all respects by the name of the venerable Oḍīśa. The place there is Oṣadhiprastha and she is praised as the auspicious one of the universe”.

The forest animals were miserable because now they had to part from Him. [...] The birds flew here and there [i.e., uḍḍīyoḍḍīya—uḍḍīya-uḍḍīya] high over the village to watch Him, but when night came and they could no longer see Him they cried out as if weeping and flew away. [...]”.

1) Uḍḍīya (उड्डीय) refers to “flying up”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to the seven Sages: “[...] This mind of mine is resolute helplessly attempting at a great task. Verily it is trying to erect a high wall on the surface of water. At the bidding of the celestial sage I am performing this steady penance with the desire that Rudra be my husband. The unfledged birdling of my mind flies up [i.e., uḍḍīya] tenaciously. May lord Śiva, the storehouse of mercy fulfil its desire”.

2) Uḍḍīya (उड्डीय) refers to “having driven away (the swan)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Nārada: “O wretched daughter, what is it that you have done? This is extremely painful to me. You have given gold and brought a glass piece, O wicked girl. You have cast away sandal paste and smeared yourself with mud. You have driven away the swan (uḍḍīya) and have held a crow in your hands. Setting aside the sacred river water you have drunk the well-water. Losing the sun you have clung to the glowworm in all earnestness. [...]”.

Remaining concealed in the immediate neighbourhood, they should see where the birds settle after their flight (uḍḍīya). [...]”.
