Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsKṣīrāśin (क्षीराशिन्) refers to “consuming only milk”, according to the Mataṅgapārameśvara (with Rāmakaṇṭha’s commentary).—Accordingly, “Having worshipped the Lord, he should oblate into the fire at the three junctures of the day a thousand pieces of Udumbara-wood smeared with the three [sweet substances]. Consuming [only] milk (kṣīrāśin), he should make oblations [in this manner] for seven days. He will become one who has accomplished the vidyāvrata”.
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.
