Saṃpadvināśa (संपद्विनाश) refers to “that which destroys all riches”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the Gods: “Dear children, I am incompetent to decry Śiva. It is unbearable. It destroys all riches (saṃpadvināśa). It is the seed of all adversities. O gods, all of you go to Kailāsa and propitiate Śiva. Make Him go to Himavat’s abode quickly. Let him approach the lord of mountains and make disparaging remarks about Himself. Rebuking others is conducive to destruction. Rebuking oneself is conducive to fame”.
