In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Bhedavat (भेदवत्) refers to “that which possesses difference” [?], according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.140.—Accordingly, “And [spatial] extendedness, which [consists in] being differentiated into parts according to the directions (digbhāga-bhedavat-tva), is ‘[not possible] if [this pot] is thus made of atoms’”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
