Samaviśleṣa (समविश्लेष) refers to “separation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Rati said to Śiva: “Why did you reduce my beloved husband to ashes without gaining any interest when he had come near you with Pārvatī? He was my only fortunate possession very rare to get. Give me back my husband, the lord of my journey of life who used to work lovingly with me. Remove my distress caused by separation (samaviśleṣa-hetuka). [...]”.
