Viṣṭuta (विष्टुत) refers to “(that which is) celebrated”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 2.22cd-28ab]—“From this authority, the seventy-million mantras arise. The terminal letter shining with various light, [which is the] split belly of the moon [j], is placed upon a hook [u], and yoked with the last rising horizon [i.e., the wind or last labial nasalization] [ṃ]. That which is described is celebrated in the world (loka-viṣṭuta) as the supreme Amṛta [sa], this is the highest dwelling place. [...]”.
