The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Temple management in the 膧gamas痴颈诲测腻辫墨峁环补 (啶掂た啶︵啶ぞ啶啶�) are specials halls in the 艢aiva temple for the purpose of teaching and learing the 艢aiv膩gamas.鈥擳he 膧di艣aiva also has the responsibility to propagate 艢aiva precepts and expound the carya, kriya, yoga and 箩帽腻苍补-辫腻诲补蝉 of 艢aiv膩gamas and related literature. Temples have special 痴颈诲测腻辫墨峁环补 or study halls for this purpose. In a place cleaned with gomaya and decorated with colour powder and flowers, lit with many lamps and fragrant with incense, the膧c膩rya, surrounded by 艢uddha艣aiva, should impart 艢ivaj帽膩na through word or letter . If the student makes errors or if the material is corrupted by time, through negligence, has addition or deletion of letters due to careless scribes, is not properly checked by 膧c膩ryas with little knowledge, is repetitive or has meaningless words, is disjoint, or self-contradictory, the 诲别艣颈办补 has to correct the student in those places.
: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the Kamikagama痴颈诲测腻辫墨峁环补 (啶掂た啶︵啶ぞ啶啶�) refers to the 鈥渢hrone of knowledge鈥�, according to the 碍腻尘颈办腻驳补尘补: an ancient 艢aiva 膧gama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (办谤颈测腻辫腻诲补).鈥擨n modern print editions, the K膩mika-膩gama is structured in two major parts. The Uttarabh膩ga consists of 98 chapters (辫补峁璦濒补蝉) [...] In Chapters 67 to 71, we find accounts of the installation of the throne of knowledge (惫颈诲测腻辫墨峁环补-辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻), the installation of 艢iva鈥檚 ten divine weapons, 艢iva鈥檚 trident, the installation of a 鈥渓ion鈥檚 seat鈥�, and the installation of a chariot for festival processions.
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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram痴颈诲测腻辫墨峁环补 (啶掂た啶︵啶ぞ啶啶�) refers to the Seat of Scripture associated with K膩mar奴pa, one of the sacred seats (辫墨峁环补), according to the 峁峁璼膩hasrasa峁僪it膩, an expansion of the Kubjik膩matatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik膩 cult.鈥擮n the basis of hardly more than a hint in the 峁峁璼膩hasrasa峁僪it膩, it outlines a scheme of sixteen parts for each seat, conscious, no doubt, that this is an ideal number. The commentary normally limits itself to do no more than explain what is presented in the text. This is one of the few instances it adds substantially to its contents [i.e., Seats of Scripture鈥敵站被宀饽灞枘够凡筣. Presumably this is because when it was written the presentation of the features of the seats on this model was the accepted norm.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
