Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Niḥsīmānanda (निःसीमानन्द) refers to “boundless bliss”, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “I resort to the glorious sandals of Paramaśiva (Śiva in the Ultimate state), who is eternally in equilibrial union with the Goddess characterised by boundless bliss (niḥsīmānanda). I revere the Nityā Śakti of the Lord, i.e. Paramaśiva. She possesses all powers and carries out the five tasks [for him]. She bestows grace upon all, is eternal, and is the motherly origin of all good. [...]”.
