In Hinduism
Shaiva philosophy
Kṣamatva (क्षमत्व) refers to the “power (to bestow experiences)” (i.e., the capacity—ascertained from the bond resulting from past actions—to bestow or generate particular experiences), according to Bhaṭṭa Rāmakaṇṭha’s 10th-century Tattvatrayanirṇayavivṛti—a commentary on the 7th-century Tattvatrayanirṇaya by Sadyojyoti which discusses philosophical aspects of Śiva including the theories of Puruṣas (souls), Māyā (primal matter) and Mala (the innate impurity afflicting souls).—Kṣamatva refers to the capacity, ability, or power of something—specifically, the bond resulting from past actions (karman)—to bestow or generate particular experiences for individual souls. It expresses the potential within karman to give rise to diverse experiences according to varying strengths or degrees, thus accounting for the differentiated outcomes (such as pleasure and pain) that souls undergo as a result of their past deeds.
Shaiva philosophy is a spritiual tradition within Hinduism that includes theories such as the relationship between the Atman (individual soul) and Siva, the nature of liberation (moksha), and the concepts of maya (illusion) and shakti (divine energy). Saiva philosophy teaches that union with Shiva can be achieved through knowledge, devotion, and spiritual practice. It encompasses major branches like Shaiva Siddhanta and Kashmir Shaivism.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Kṣamatva (क्षमत्व) refers to the “power (to prevent diseases in a healthy body)”.—Cf. Vyādhikṣamatva (“immunity”).
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
