Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Viśodhita (विशोधित) refers to “having purified (that path up to the cosmic level of a particular deity)”, according to the Mṛgendrāgama Kriyāpāda verse 8.151-152b.—Accordingly, “In exactly the same way (evam eva), [the Guru] may guide a devotee to union [with a deity such as] Ambikā, Sūrya, Smara, Viṣṇu or Brahmā [i.e., prajāsṛj], after having purified (viśodhita) that path [up to the cosmic level of the desired deity] [of all bad karma]. And the same procedure (evam eva hi) [is applicable] for any other deity that is on the path [that the devotee wishes to be united with]”.

Viśodhita (विशोधित) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Visohiya.

context information

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.
