Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Aṇumātraka (अणुमात्रक) [=Aṇumātra?] (Cf. Paramāṇumātra) refers to the “size of a (single) atom”, according to the Viṃśikā 12.—Accordingly, “If the six [atoms supposedly surrounding the first one] share the same location [as the first one], [they] must [constitute] a lump [of matter] that has the size of a [single] atom (aṇumātraka)”.
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.
