: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditionsṣaⲹ (क्षयकारिन्) (Cf. Kṣayakāriṇ�) refers to “that which destroys (both past and future demerit)�, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 4.141-145.—Accordingly, “[...] The other form [of ܲܰṣu initiation] is the ǰ첹ṇ�, which destroys (ṣaⲹṇ�) both past and future demerit. That ǰ첹ṇ�-dīkṣ� is known to exclude the obligation to propitiate mantras [by means of ܰ etc.]. However, when the current body breaks, [the candidate] experiences [the series of eight supernatural natural powers] starting with becoming very small. Having experienced [these] enjoyments he moves upwards to whichever [cosmic level] the Guru has joined him [by ᲹԾ]. Whether this is at the sakala or Ծṣk level [of Śiva] depends on [the preference of] the candidate and Guru�.
