Shaiva philosophy
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)(सर्वग्रा�) refers to a “global refutation (of philosophical arguments)�, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.138.—Accordingly, “[...] [The latter argument] completely eradicates the very nature of the object of knowledge—that is to say, the external [object]—by showing that [this contradictory nature can] not exist. For the first refuting argument functions while completely disregarding the nature of the object of knowledge—[i.e.] whether it has parts or is devoid of parts, whether it is contradicted or not [by this or that particular property]—rather, [it functions] through a global refutation ( [lit. ‘by devouring everything’]), thus: ‘[What is] distinct from the manifesting consciousness is not manifest’�.
