General definition (in Hinduism)
: Tamil Virtual Academy: HinduismThe name 艢iva has been explained as being at least partly of Dravidian origin: in Tamil, for instance, 艢ivan (Chivan) means red, and the divinity was known to the early Aryans as N墨la-lohita "the Red One with blue (throat)" (referring to the legend found in the Pur膩峁嘺s of later times and unquestionably mentioned in Rgveda, (X. 130, vii), of 艢iva having drunk up the world poison and preserved it in his throat which became marked with blue for this).
