Samyakprajñā (सम्यक्प्रज्ञा) refers to “true knowledge”, according to Sāhib Kaul’s Śārikāstrotra.—Accordingly, “[...] He is born in a good family, his mother is blessed, and he receives good wishes. He knows everything about [Śārikā,] the beloved of Śiva, who has fathomed true knowledge (samyakprajñā) through devotion. My devotion to you nourishes me every day, as the rise of the full moon always nourishes the ocean. On account of the true affluence of victorious devotion to you I even ignore the excellent Lakṣmī. [...]”.
