Who are the heretics? "Shree Lalita SahasraNam", Name 355 "ॐ संहृताशेषपाषण्डायै नमः ।"


ॐ संहृताशेषपाषण्डायै नमः ।

355. My Obeisances to The Destroyer of all heretics. 

Shriman Bhaskararaya Tika: 

"The Linga Purana describes the nature of the heretics thus:

"Observers of vows not enjoined in the Vedas and those who are excluded from the ceremonies enjoined by the S'ruti and Smrtis are called heretics, they are not to be spoken with by the Twice-born". 

The Brahma-Vaivarta Purana also: 

"(1) Puranas, (2) Nyaya, (8) Mimansa, (4) Dharma-S'astras, (5 to 10) the Angas (i.e., the supplement S'iksa to Jyotisa), (11 to 14) the Vedas (four) which are the source of knowledge, these fourteen are the seat of righteousness (Dharmasthana)." 

Taking these fourteen: "These are the true, what is beyond these imagined by men is called heresy (पाषण्ड - pASaNDa); this is created by the great confusion for the bewilderment of the Daityas."

If the reading is Pakkanda; it gives the same meaning. 

The explanation of the word is:

"Pa" means the meaning of the Vedas and "Khanda" cutting off."
