Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraSadāśivaiśvarya (सदाशिवैश्वर्य) refers to the “conquest of death”, according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 7.216cd-217, while describing the meditation on the kālahaṃsa]—“Because he [attains] the highest state of Viṣṇu, the Yogin obtains the sovereignty of Sadāśiva. A person who visualizes the highest state of Rudra becomes Śiva. Thus, the conquest of death (mṛtyujaya) called amṛta, is called a ‘conquering meditation’”.
