Saṃdohadā (संदोहदा) refers to “giving an abundance (of bliss)”, according to the Ṭīkā Pot Worship [i.e., Kalaśapūjā] ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Rising out across the circle, that kindles the wind, of a hundred shining suns, A burning triad, infatuating the three worlds, an overflowing stream of nectar, Giving her own abundant bliss (svānanda-saṃdohadā), having the pure essence of Buddha knowledge, Free from traversing existence and non-existence, beloved sow, drink to you”.
