Mūlanikṛntana (मूलनिकृन्तन) refers to “cutting off the roots (of all actions)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “O Nārada, listen to the tale of Śiva, the moon-crested lord. I shall narrate the story of Guha’s birth and the slaying of the demon Tāraka. [...] It bestows everything auspicious. It is the essence of the Vedas and is pleasing to the ears. It is conducive to happiness. It is the cause of liberation and cuts off the roots of all actions (karma-mūlanikṛntana)”.
