In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsѲ辱 (महापिच�) refers to “sexual fluids� (or various other human fluids), according to the Brahmayāmala-tantra chapter 46.—It is in this chapter that the ṛt comes to fore again in ritual. For the main subject here is ṛt-manthāna, the churning and drinking of the ṛt. The Sādhaka is to make pots from clay obtained from the cremation ground, contruct a sacrificial pavilion from bones, and place the ritual cauldron upon a corpse. He is required to churn a mixture including 辱 (sexual fluids or various other human fluids?) using a piece of bone as the churning stick, with a rope made of human hair, intestines and skin (?). The cauldron is identified with Aghorī and the churning stick with Bhairava. In this rite, the Sādhaka re-enacts the cosmic churning of the ocean, and the same miraculous objects emerge (the Kaustubha gem, etc.) as the gods brought forth during the primordial churning.

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.
