Yatātman (यतात्मन्) refers to the “Self of sacrifice”, and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.26. Accordingly as Śiva said to Nanda, after the latter cursed Dakṣa (and others):—“[...] I have not been cursed now. You please understand the factual position. O intelligent one, be calm, enlighten Sanaka and others. I am the sacrifice, the sacrificial rite, the ancillary adjuncts of the sacrifice, the Self of sacrifice (yatātman) and one engrossed in sacrifice. I am out of sacrifice too”.

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.
