Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraĪśvarordhva (ईश्वरोर्ध्व) refers to the “rising Īśvara”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 2.28cd-33]—“Now, I shall explain the limbs of the mantra, with which, tied together, he achieves perfection. [...] Śikhā is taught as māyā [ī] joined with the cessation of wind [ṃ]. [The kavaca is] the closed īśa [h], rising Īśvara (īśvarordhva) [ṃ]and joined with an elevated half of twelve [ū]. Now with nāda joined with Śiva and Śakti he is enveloped and supreme.”.
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.
