: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraSamyak (समà¥à¤¯à¤•à¥) refers to â€�(being) trueâ€�, according to the Netratantra of Ká¹£emarÄja: a Åšaiva text from the 9th century in which Åšiva (Bhairava) teaches PÄrvatÄ« topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 22.17ab]—“Sa is that which is self-perceived, true (samyak), possesses the attribute of gratification, the receptacle of all ²¹³¾á¹›t²¹, together with visarga, and the highest auspicious thing (i.e., Åšiva), which is full and uninterrupted, without any breaksâ€�.

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.
In Buddhism

However, these Bodhisattvas cannot see this [awakening] as object even in their dreams because of their attachment. Having heard this guiding principle of the dharma in verses, attained it and believe it, whoever will gradually attain the lion’s roar like that of Bodhisattva Gaganagañjaâ€�.â€�

Mahayana (महायान, mahÄyÄna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).

The word ‘rightâ€� here is synonymous with correct /true /real or laudatory. How is the word samyak derived or created? The word samyak in Saṃs°ìá¹›ta language is derived from the root verb â€�²¹Ã±³¦â€� with the proposition â€�samâ€� and the suffix â€�kvipâ€�.
To which quality out of the three mentioned the word ‘rightâ€� is to be added? The word ‘rightâ€� should be added to all the three qualities i.e. right faith (»å²¹°ùÅ›²¹²Ô²¹), right knowledge (ÂáñÄå²Ô²¹) and right conduct (³¦Äå°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹).
