In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (vaishnavism)Caramopāyanirṇaya (चरमोपायनिर्णय) is the name of a work authored by Nāyaṉār Āccāṉ Piḷḷai (traditional dates: 1227–1327), who was the nephew and adopted son of Periyavāccāṉ Piḷḷai.—The Caramopāyanirṇaya is a work that clearly endorses the view that taking refuge with Rāmānuja himself is central to salvation, thus making this a doctrinal position found well before contemporary belief.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
