In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaṛtܲśԲ (मृत्युनाशन) or Mṛtyunāśanāgama refers to one of ܱ岵 (supplementary scriptures) of the վᲹ岵 which is one of the twenty-eight Գ岵: a classification of the Śaiva division of Ś岵. The Ś岵 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing ܱ岵 (e.g., ṛtܲśԲ Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of ū岵 (e.g., Vijaya-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in ū岵.
