Pṛthaksiddhi (पृथक्सिद्धि) refers to a “separate accomplishment”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 4.27-29.—Accordingly, “The essential nature of the individual soul (aṇu) is the Self that has been supremely infused with the power of consciousness. It is present in the branches of the Kula (i.e. the body) in association with the various supports (ādhārabheda). O goddess, one place and another bring each other to rest. Contemplated by (direct) experience, (each is of) a separate kind (and each bestows) a separate accomplishment [i.e., pṛthaksiddhi]. O goddess, I have explained that which is known as Āṇava”.
