[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Samskaracodana in Shaiva philosophy glossary
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)

ṃsǻ岹Բ (संस्कारचोद�) refers to “injunctions involving the rites of passage (of fire)�, according to Somānanda’s Śivadṛṣṭi verse 3.42cd�47.—Accordingly, “[...] But, if you say (in reply) that injunctions involving the rites of passage (ṃsǻ岹Բ) for fire are explained in the (Śaiva) teachings, (we reply:) what is the goal of the (ritual) action (in question)? It is the action itself. There is no division of its [i.e., the fire’s] nature, here. It is the same for his [i.e., Śiva’s] abiding there [in the world]: that [i.e., the distinguishing of ‘pure� from ‘impure� elements in the world, or the distinction of that which is said to be Śiva and that which is said not to be] is conceived of merely as the assignation of names for the purpose of everyday speech/everyday activity�.
