Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraDaiśikottama (दैशिकोत्तम) refers to the “highest teachers”, 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 4.3cd-4]—“[Through dīkṣā, he is] prepared for all because through religious action [he becomes] the same [as the divine] in accordance with the nature of potential and manifestation. [And this dīkṣā,] [should] be set in motion by the highest teachers (daiśikottama), in accordance with the best of the wealth [of the one for whom the Mantrin performs the dīkṣā”.
