In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: HAL: The function of the Vṛṣasārasaṃgraha in the Śivadharma corpusAgnihotrin (अग्निहोत्रिन्) refers to “those who perform the fire sacrifices”, according to the Vṛṣasārasaṃgraha: A Sanskrit text of twenty-four chapters contained in the Śivadharma corpus dealing with Dharma (religious duties).—Accordingly, [while discussing the Śivāṇḍa in verse 2.16]: “There is no recitation there or daily rituals, nobody performs the fire sacrifices (agnihotrin) and there is no sacrificer. There are neither religious observances, nor austerities. And there no ‘animal hell’ [or: ‘neither animal existence nor hell’]”.
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.
