󾱰岵 (बहिर्याग) refers to “external worship�, according to the Brahmayāmala-tantra (or Picumata), an early 7th century Śaiva text consisting of twelve-thousand verses.—[...] The Brahmayāmala’s harmonious integration of the inner and outer seems largely congruent with classical Śaivasiddhānta ritualism. Arguably, such integration of inner and outer processes is characteristic of tantric ritual, broadly conceived, as reflected in the ubiquitous dichotomy of Գٲ岵 (“inner worship�) and 󾱰岵 (“external worship�). What is most distinctive to the Brahmayāmala is its unique manner of their integration: the “method of the lotus garlands�.
