Sadāśivayojana (सदाशिवयोजन) refers to “unification with Sadāśiva”, according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on 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 8.8-9, while describing the purification process of the initiand]—“[Śivahood [is that] whose level is parāparapada, ‘but Śiva, the ultimate cause, engages in action established in that’ Stated in the Svacchanda Tantra, [for the initiation of] Ācāryas, the [Mantrin] should perform fusion with lower Śiva after he has fused them with higher Śiva. For Sādhakas, immediately after fusion with Śiva, the [Mantrin] should perform unification with Sadāśiva (sadāśivayojana). For the Putraka, [he should join him with] the highest tattva, [and for the] Samayin, īśvara-tattva. This is the distribution”.
