Śāpoddhāra (शापोद्धार) refers to the “redemption from a curse”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.2.—Accordingly, Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On hearing their (i.e., the three daughters of Svadhā) words, O dear, the sage (i.e., Sanaka/Sanatkumāra) spoke to them. He had been induced by Śiva’s illusion to give them redemption from the curse (i.e., śāpoddhāra). He was a bit consoled”.

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.
