The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: academia.edu: Yakṣiṇī-sādhana in the Kakṣapuṭa tantraMṛtasaṃjīvinī (मृतसंजीविनी) or Mṛtasaṃjīvana as mentioned in the Kakṣapuṭatantra is a kind of medical treatment. It does not have any relationship with the yoga by which a practitioner controls jñāna (consciousness) or prāṇa (vital breath). Instead, it is a treatment for people who are in a state of suspended animation due to a fatal snakebite or other pathological conditions. It is said that, by applying a kind of sternutatory to the corpse, the dead are immediately brought back to life.
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.
