In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Duṣkṛtakarman (दुष्कृतकर्मन्) refers to “those who committed bad deeds”, 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, “If flawless but unlawful alms are obtained without begging, a Yogin should reject them and go begging for alms unplanned. (22) Prajāpati has regarded the alms ladled out [at home by a householder] and brought [to an ascetic] which are not announced in advance as acceptable even if they belonged to those who committed bad deeds (duṣkṛtakarman). (23)
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.
