Avaśeṣita (अवशेषित) refers to “(not) having left out (details)” (when creating portraits), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Indra and others: “[...] I have been fascinated by my shining portrait. Viṣṇu, Brahmā and Indra have been realistically portrayed by him. O lord of gods, why should I talk too much? He has made artificial prototypes of all the gods. No one, not a single detail, has been left out (avaśeṣita). It is for the purpose of particularly enchanting the gods that this spell has been employed by him through this caricature”.
