Samaśodhana (समशोधन) or simply Śodhana refers to the “(complete) clearance of equations”, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—After an equation (samīkaraṇa or samīkāra) is formed, writing it down for further operations is technically called nyāsa (putting down, statement) of the equation. In the Bakhshali treatise the two sides of an equation are put down one after the other in the same line without any sign of equality being interposed. [...] The operation to be performed on an equation next to its statement (nyāsa) is technically known as samaśodhana (from sama, meaning equal or complete, and śodhana, clearance; hence literally meaning, equi-clearance or complete clearance) or simply śodhana. The nature of this clearance varies according to the kind of the equation.
