Sadāśivavilāsin (सदाशिवविलासिन्) refers to the “beautiful wife of Sadāśiva” and is used to describe the Goddess (e.g., Umā/Durgā/Satī), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.4.—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Umā with devotion:—“[...] thus eulogised by the Gods, the Goddess Durgā, the mother of the universe, the destroyer of impassable distress, appeared in front of them. [...] She was the unequalled supreme illusion, the beautiful wife of Sadāśiva (i.e., Sadāśivavilāsin). She had all the three qualities and was devoid of attributes also, she had been staying in the region of Śiva”.
