In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraBhayatrasta (भयत्रस्त) refers to “fear and tremble�, 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 15.7cd-9ab, while describing protection rituals]—“The Mantrin who is present to achieve protection, should offer the mark of the name to Agni in the fire. [He does this] through the performance of a īᲹԲ rite with a mind that is enraged, at a time when all beings everywhere [live in] fear and tremble (bhayatrasta�bhayatrasteṣu sarvata�). It is called īᲹԲ because it causes all good fortune�.

Shaiva (शै�, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
