Saṃśayocchitti (संशयोच्छित्ति) refers to “that which destroys doubt”, according to the Kaulajñānanirṇaya 14.82-84.—Accordingly: [The goddess said]: “[What is] the highest reality which is free from the multitude of mantras, Prāṇāyāma and meditation on Cakras, and is an immediate cause of paranormal powers, has no interior and [yet] is in the body, and is the destroyer of doubt (saṃśayocchitti-kāraka)?”.
