In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Amareśa (अमरेश), one of the fifty Rudras according to the Caryāpāda section of the Makuṭāgama (one of the 28 Saiva Siddhanta Agamas).
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Amareśa (अमरेश) refers to the “lord of Gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.38 (“Description of the dais or maṇḍapa”).—Accordingly, as Himavat prepared the wedding of Menā and Śiva: “[...] For the residence of Brahmā, seven wonderful abodes were created in a trice. They had great brilliance. A brilliant abode of Viṣṇu called Vaikuṇṭha, with wonderful features, was created in a trice. Viśvakarman created a wonderfully divine palace for the lord of gods (amareśa) endowed with all riches. Wonderful mansions for the guardians of the quarters were erected by Viśvakarman. They were beautiful and large. Mansions of various kinds were built by him for other gods too. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s 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.
