Ānandasandoha (आनन्दसन्दोह) refers to the “essence of the bliss”, according to verse 2.4-6ab of the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya.—Accordingly, “This tradition is Śiva’s vitality which has not emerged (into the realms of limitation). It is endowed with Śiva and Śakti and is the essence of the bliss (ānandasandoha) of both that has expanded out through the lineage. O goddess, it is the root Kula tradition that has emerged as Kula and Kaula. Kaula is of six kinds and, accompanied by six seed-syllables, it is stable. It has emerged with six names and by its extension is the Western Tradition”.
