Samuddiśya (समुद्दिश्य) refers to “employing (a name)” (in a ritual), according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 6.9-15ab]—“When [the mantrin] perceives the power of death, when death touches and sees [a person], then he should worship Amṛteśa with the aim to repulse [death]. He employs (samuddiśya) the name [of the afflicted], [and] should worship all-pervading Mṛtyujit with entirely white ornaments, according to the rule taught before [in previous chapters focused on daily ritual]. [...]”.

Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

Samuddiśya (समुद्दिश्य) refers to “aiming (one’s weapon) against”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.11 (“The Victory of Kumāra”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Skanda who was thus eulogised by Krauñca became delighted. He, the saviour of the devotees, took up his matchless spear and remembered Śiva. The son of Śiva hurled the spear aiming (samuddiśya) at Bāṇa. It gave loud report, blazing forth the quarters and the sky. O sage, reducing the Asuras to ashes along with his army in a trice, the great spear returned to Kumāra. [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
