Nipīḍana (निपीडन) refers to the “torment” (of all diseases), 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 6.23-25a]—“Enveloped by saḥ, etc., [the Mantrin writes the name of the person] afflicted by all diseases in yellow bile and saffron mixed with milk on the middle of a white lotus with eight petals. [This he] encloses in the candramaṇḍala, set in a square, and decorates it with Indra’s vajras. [The afflicted] is then cured of the torment of all diseases (sarvavyādhi-nipīḍana), there is no doubt”.
