Suvihita (सुविहित) refers to “well-performed (penance)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the sons of Tāraka-Asura: “[...] If penance is performed for the harassment of the world, it shall be understood as gone. It is only a well-performed (suvihita) penance that can be fruitful. Ponder over this keenly, O faultless ones, desist from seeking immortality. Immortality is impossible for the gods and the Asuras. It is inaccessible. It cannot be warded off. Hence choose a boon whereby you shall do something equal to your own strength”.
