Manasoddiṣṭa (मनसोद्दिष्ट) refers to “that which is mentally conceived”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.17 (“The dialogue between Indra and Kāmadeva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Kāma: “O dear Kāma, you are competent to carry out the task which I have conceived in my mind [i.e., manasoddiṣṭa]. It cannot be realised through anyone else. O Kāma, foremost among my friends, listen. I shall explain truly for what I remembered you and desired your presence, O Kāma. Securing a wonderful boon from Brahmā, the great demon Tāraka has become invincible and a pest for everyone. [...]”.
