Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraMantrasaṃpuṭa (मन्त्रसंपुट) refers to “envelops (medicine consisting of herbs) with the mantra”, 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 6.15cd-20]—“[...] When a man is seen to be afflicted with 100 diseases [and] weak, [he] is released [when the Mantrin] envelops his name (sampuṭī-kṛtya) [with the mṛtyuñjayamantra] and recites [it]. Any mantra that a wise man should recite, is enveloped (sampuṭa) by Amṛteśa. This mantra quickly [brings] him success, even if he is without good fortune. [The Mantrin] envelops medicine [consisting of herbs] with the Mantra (mantrasaṃpuṭa). [He then] gives [the mantra wrapped medicine] to [the person whose] body is weak. At that very moment, his body gains nourishment and [becomes] strong”.
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.
