Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra Tantra

Sudhāpūrita (सुधापूरित) refers to “(being) filled with nectar”, 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]—“Delighted, [the Mantrin] should visualize [the jīva] in his own or someone else’s [body] as being flooded by waves of Amṛta (amṛtormi), in the middle of a lotus on the ocean of milk, enclosed between two moons one above and one below, enclosed by the syllables saḥ, etc. He [visualizes his] body, beautiful inside and out, filled with nectar (sudhāpūrita-vigraha). [He is] freed without exertion and without trouble, and liberated from any sickness”.
