In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Arthadarśana (अर्थदर्शन) refers to an “act of realization with respect to an object” [?], according to the Vṛtti on the Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8, 21-22.—Accordingly, “Inference is an act of realization with respect to an object (arthadarśana-vaśa) that exists internally [now in the form of a residual trace because] it has [already] been manifested in the past. [This act occurs] thanks to the perception of an object invariably concomitant [with this entity,] due to the association [of this entity] with this or that [specific] time and place, etc.”.
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.
