Sāvadhi (सावधि) refers to one of two forms of liberation [?], according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while expounding Kaula and the Nine Kaulas]—“Free of (both forms of liberation, namely) ultimate (sāvadhi-niravadhi-mukta) and otherwise, devoid of emanation and withdrawal, I praise Kaula the Nameless (absolute) free of differentiation that accomplishes (all things)”.

Ex. ajhūna tumacēṃ lagna sā0 āhē ēvhāmpāsūna kaśālā khaṭapaṭa karitāṃ? Also of which the term or period is yet unexpired or unfulfilled. 3 That has space yet remaining to be crossed or passed; having interval;--used of any object at a distance or apart. Also having interstice generally. 4 From accommodation of the first sense arises the classical and important sense Particular, not general or common; i. e. confined, restricted, observing bounds; as śēta is particular with respect to jamīna, phūlajhāḍa with reference to jhāḍa. Hence also the sense Comparative or relative; respective or referential.
