In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Nāntarīyakārtha (नान्तरीयकार्थ) refers to an “object invariably concomitant”, according to the Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] So [a valid inference is] an act of realization that is exactly so, [i.e. it is an unfailing means of knowledge with respect to a previously perceived object that it manifests as having a specific place and time]. This is what [the Vṛtti] says [with the words] ‘manifested in the past’, ‘an object invariably concomitant [with this entity]’ (nāntarīyakārtha) [and] ‘[due to the association of this entity with] this or that [specific] place and time, etc.’”.
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.
