ٴDZṛt (सर्वतोवृ�) refers to one of the eleven methods used with certain types of ٴDZⲹ (seven means) according to the 11th-century Netratantroddyota (v 18.10-12). According to the 10th-century Kakṣapuṭatantra verses 1.89-91, the method called ٴDZⲹ (seven means) should be performed when a mantra has had no effect. Among the ٴDZⲹ, the 屹ṇa, bodhana, ṣaⲹ, śṣaṇa, and 岹󲹲īⲹ use a īᲹ, and attach it to the mantra. Kṣemarājaʼs commentary on the Netratantra (the Netratantroddyota) verses 18.10-12 gives a detailed account of 11 methods to tie a īᲹ to a mantra (for example, ٴDZṛt).

ٴDZṛt (सर्वतोṿर्त) refers to one of the eleven types of interlocking (the mantra and ritual practice [?]), 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.—The Netratantra describes eleven types of interlocking in which the mantra (A) and the name of the person on whose behalf the rite is performed (), or the action or goal of the ritual (abhidheya, ) (B) follow particular patterns. [...] Though described in the text, the Netratantra’s rites do not call for the use of all eleven varieties [e.g., ٴDZṛt].
