Forgive my ignorance, but I am still at a loss on how śraddha becomes the word/definition you offer as transcendental faith.
śraddha is defined as having faith , believing in , trusting , faithful , having confidence. We too can spell it in the neuter gender as śraddhā. Yet I cannot get to viśvottīrṇa¹ - transcendental, as you are offering in śraddha . Can you walk me through the steps ?
iti śivaṁ
- viśvottīrṇa = viśva +uttīrṇa
- viśva = all-pervading or all-containing , omnipresent applied to viṣṇu or kṛṣṇa
- uttīrṇa = crossed , traversed, rescued , liberated
- Hence He (viṣṇu or kṛṣṇa ) that is beyond; transcendental

because you are identical with śiva
