If the course of Saturn should lie through Śravaṇa public officials [i.e., rāja-adhikṛta], the chief Brāhmins, physicians, priests and the people of Kaliṅga will suffer miseries. If his course should lie through Dhaniṣṭhā, the ruler of Magadha will become triumphant and treasury officers will prosper”.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsAdhikṛta (अधिकृत) refers to “(being) invested in the right (to pursue all manner of special powers)”, as quoted by Hṛdayaśiva in his Prāyaścittasamuccaya (verse 10.27-35).—Accordingly, “Having recited [a particular mantra] along with [the practice of one of the] observances in accordance with the rules, and having bathed [at the end of the observance], one may recite that mantra for attaining supernatural powers. [...] Being thus bathed after the observance [in propitiation] of [his] mantra, invested in the right to [pursue] all [manner of special powers] (sarvatra-adhikṛta), faultless, he should then recite [his chosen] mantra according to the rules of his hand-book, without being afraid”.
Shaiva (शैव, 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.
