Añjasa (अञ्जस) refers to “instantly (crossing)” [?] (the ocean of worldly existence), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.29 (“Śivā-Śiva dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva: “[...] O great lord, I know you in every respect. O omniscient, of what avail is a detailed talk. Take pity on me. Spread your glory in the world indulging in your wonderful divine sports. Singing them, O lord, people can cross (añjasa-uttīrṇa) the ocean of worldly existence”.
