Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Śrīpādukā (श्रीपादुका) refers to the “glorious sandals (of Paramaśiva)”, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “I resort to the glorious sandals (śrīpādukā-dvaya) of Paramaśiva (Śiva in the Ultimate state), who is eternally in equilibrial union with the Goddess characterised by boundless bliss (niḥsīman-ānanda). I revere the Nityā Śakti of the Lord, i.e. Paramaśiva. She possesses all powers and carries out the five tasks [for him]. She bestows grace upon all, is eternal, and is the motherly origin of all good. [...]”.
