Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsBhūtyartha (भूत्यर्थ) refers to “(that which is done) for the purpose of power”, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 4.141-145.—Accordingly, “Next, he should then bring about destruction of the past and future karma for the liberation-seeker, because of his indifference [to the world]. He should not purify the one [part of karma] that is the prārabdha [karma], [which fuels his present existence]. But for the Sādhaka, he should purify [only] one [part of the] past karma for the purpose of power (bhūtyartha), and having manifested the past and future karma together, he should initiate [the candidate]. This is the śivadharmiṇī-dīkṣā. [...]”.
