Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsAdruta (अद्रुत) refers to “not fast (recitation)”, 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. The skilled practitioner should do his recitation not too slowly, not indistinctly, not without taking [the meaning of what he recites] in, not too fast (adruta), not without counting, and not with his thoughts in confusion. [...]”.
