Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Bhedana (भेदन) refers to “breaching (the rules concerning the vessel—Pātra)” (for which is prescribed a purification ritual), 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, “Having touched such a sinful ascetic who is involved in breaking [the vessel], breaching [the rules concerning the vessel] (bhedana), and cooking, the same rite of purity [which is prescribed] for [touching] a corpse should be performed. (16) An initiated twice-born man, who does [any of these] attentively or inattentively, is born in animal lives for sixty thousand years. (17)”.
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.
