Sadāśivaiśvarya (सदाशिवैश्वर्य) refers to the “sovereignty of Sadāśiva”, 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 (sadāśivaiśvarya). A person who visualizes the highest state of Rudra becomes Śiva. Thus, the conquest of death called amṛta, is called a ‘conquering meditation’”.
