In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Āhṛta (आहृत) refers to “artificial” (not inborn), and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 18.2.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Āhṛtā (आहृता) refers to the “having offered (alms)” (to an ascetic), according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “If flawless but unlawful alms are obtained without begging, a Yogin should reject them and go begging for alms unplanned. (22) Prajāpati has regarded the alms ladled out [at home by a householder] and brought (āhṛtā) [to an ascetic] which are not announced in advance as acceptable even if they belonged to those who committed bad deeds. (23) The ascetic who rejects in delusion the alms ladled out [to him] and offered (āhṛtā) [by a house-holder] is a man of desire, anger and delusion; his living on alms is an imposture (viḍambanā). (24)”.
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.
