Remembering the various gestures and movements of 艢iva [i.e., 丑补谤补-肠别峁ａ弓颈迟补], she muttered to herself ever and anon鈥斺�楩ie upon my beauty. Fie on my birth and activity鈥�.

The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur腻峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.

: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions颁别峁ａ弓颈迟补 (啶氞啶粪啶熰た啶�) refers to 鈥渂ehaviour鈥�, according to the 贬补濒腻测耻诲丑补蝉迟辞迟谤补 verse 34-35.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he visitation of the wives of the distinguished sages in the Pine Park, the oblation with seed in Fire, the twilight dance: Your behaviour (肠别峁ａ弓颈迟补) is not reprehensible. O Three-eyed one! The doctrines of the world do not touch those who have left worldly life, having passed far beyond the path of those whose minds are afflicted by false knowledge. The gods all wear gold and jewels as an ornament on their body. You do not even wear gold the size of a berry on your ear or on your hand. The one whose natural beauty, surpassing the path [of the world], flashes on his own body, has no regard for the extraneous ornaments of ordinary men鈥�.
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) 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.

[The omens are] seeing [someone or something], announcing [a creature鈥檚 name], cries [of animals], and the actions (肠别峁ａ弓颈迟补鈥�肠别峁ａ弓颈迟补m) of a donor. [The officiant] should carefully notice an extraneous substance as situated beneath the site. [...]鈥�.
Vastushastra (啶掂ぞ啶膏啶む啶多ぞ啶膏啶む啶�, v腻stu艣腻stra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions.

Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch颁别峁ａ弓颈迟补 (啶氞啶粪啶熰た啶�) refers to 鈥渁ctivity鈥�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擳he Amanaska referred to (or qualified) Sam腻dhi with several terms, which are all negative; [e.g., it is devoid of all activity (ni岣ヅ沞峁Ｄ迮沞峁-肠别峁ａ弓颈迟补);] [...] The fact that such terminology is found in the Amanaska indicates that descriptions of 艢iva and the void-like meditative states in Mantramargic 艢aivism, were the basis of the descriptions of Sam腻dhi and Paratattva (the highest reality) in this treatise. The Amanaska Yoga was consistent with the P腻ta帽jala Yoga艣腻stra鈥檚 definition of Yoga, yet it described Sam腻dhi in terms different to those of P腻ta帽jalayoga; such as Acala鈥斺�渢hat which is devoid of all activity (ni岣ヅ沞峁Ｄ迮沞峁-肠别峁ａ弓颈迟补)鈥�.
