Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsAdhvaśuddhi (अध्वशुद्धि) refers to the “purification of the cosmic path”, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 4.79b-81b.—Accordingly, “Next there is the initiation for the purpose of the purification of the cosmic path (adhvaśuddhi) for those who seek the fruit of [either] enjoyment or liberation. The subtle method that causes the cutting of the bonds is explained. The Guru asks the candidate seeking benefits [about] the two-fold [option]. Whatever fruit he desires, accordingly he should start the propitiation of Mantras”.
